Finally I choose Node connected via coax cable to RME ADI-2 DAC instead CXN v2. I have to say there is no delay with this connections.
Cxn converts dsd to pcm, but not spdif out coax and toslink send out dsd dop untouched.
I can connect optical out from cxn to my adi dac 2 fs. It shows as 176khz dsd bloody marvellous.
No, this is not.This is telling on how the overall system sounds once such components are in.
How the hell a DAC would be suited to one type of room and not to the other?!I say good for the excercise room or the office, not for the living room.
There is absolutely no relation between the kind of music and the performance of a Streamer.For rock and metal, these streamer or the cheaper bluesound node?
Unrelated as well.It's with MF M5si amp and Tannoy xt8f speakers.
Nonsense. Digital is digital, whatever it comes from lossless streaming or a CD won't matter... Assuming the Streamer itself is competently designed, of course.There are also people who said no streamer and a cd player still the best (Rotel, Marantz).
The Cambridge is balanced and has a display.Okay thanks. But the cambridge is twice the price of bluesound. Is it worth it? Isn't it too old?
He actually got a good point; some cd players that cost a fraction of a price of CXN2 do in fact sound better when the same material is put through them. CXN2 does more and is convenient, but it does not come for free.There is absolutely no relation between the kind of music and the performance of a Streamer.

I guess they knew those Wolfson chips would be a bad revelation for CD like formats. They did not even leave the option to turn it off.The Cambridge is balanced and has a display.
Only thing that bothers me is that it resamples everything to 384khz and doesn't support DSD.
Other than that it's a great device.
Nonsense. Again...I guess they knew those Wolfson chips would be a bad revelation for CD like formats. They did not even leave the option to turn it off.
Good luck with that.He actually got a good point; some cd players that cost a fraction of a price of CXN2 do in fact sound better when the same material is put through them.
I have those units you pretend to discuss, I listen to them, and post my observations. All there is to it. The biggest misconception is that the unit that gives better measurements will always sound better, which is not always true. You can believe what you want, I am not here to change it.Nonsense. Again...
@sngreen,
I will be honest: I am really not sure why you are still posting here.
Vast majority of your posts are just full of regular subjectivist misconceptions, claims and assumptions, without any, even tiny bit of, technical argumentation, nor data, nor proof, controlled listening tests or whatever that would give some weight to your claims... Just "it is well known than this does sound better than that"
Good luck with that.

Yeah, sure. Thanks for enlightening my ignorance. Maybe your membership does have some purpose after all...The biggest misconception is that the unit that gives better measurements will always sound better, which is not always true.
I generalized it in my response, not a bad review actually, with the most important points covered. But then you got argumentive in your responses to the other posters, I would not know why.
Last time I checked, I was the one providing objective analysis about the CXN, creating this actual thread you're writing in, as well as I "listened" to it for that matter... I don't "pretend" anything without something to back it up. That's your thing.

Bye.
