Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2

i have the CXC at my office and it works pretty well. The sound is not as good as my Simaudio CD5.3 (apparently, the price difference is not small) But it definitely works better than all my digital sources

@Mcstin Have you tried upgrading the power cord yet? That was a nice little improvement with mine. I actually used a power cable made for a power amplifier which is like 1.5” thick and it sounds great. My typical experience is with front end gear, big and thick power cables aren’t the way to go but in this case it sounds great.

I have not made any improvements to my my CXC. Thanks for the suggestion. I am still in my 60 day trial period, and I keep going back and forth on whether or not to keep it. Part of it is just plain old vanity. I feel like I bought a Honda Accord, when I really wanted an Audi. The decision is to “soup up” my Accord, or just spend more money and get something higher up the food chain that satisfies my ego!!

I have the original CXC,  altho it  doesn't get much use, when I do listen to CD'S it sounds just fine.  I thing for the price, it's a decent piece of gear. 

Fair enough. I still recommend that even once you have the Audi you soup it up with power cables. I have yet to meet the piece of gear whose performance isn’t enhanced by a good power cable.
