Congratulation, is the CXN 100 always upsampling and can't be changed in Roon like its predecessor CXN V2?
I have a CXN100 and I have had a few emails back and forth with Cambridge Audio support asking questions, I asked about this and got the answer "The CXN100 doesn't upsample any incoming files, so it will output whatever sample rate and signal that is sent to it". I have not had chance to check this yet, I thought most DACs upsample as a matter of course. So I am undecided whether its worth sending over up-sampled content from Roon. You can certainly do it in Roon, I have tried, but whether its worth doing...
The only thing I really miss is balance control, but I could buy another amplifier, of course. EQ or tone control would be nice to have to avoid an external DSP solution when necessary.
I really like using Roon. The program features a paramedic EQ and gain controls for each speaker. And if you want to go deeper, it has room correction. I'm thoroughly enjoying the CXN100.
Maybe I should try Roon. Until now, a bit scared to start with that. Not a very quick mind when it comes to software and stuff over here.
By the way, Roon won't help me when playing vinyl, I guess. New amp with balance will, or MiniDSP between preamp and power amp (which I have, but did not install it in my new set-up yet). Maybe the cheapest way it to move my listening chair a bit to the right and tell the wife to go upstairs.
Okay, Had a good read what to do and downloaded the software and app. It works very well indeed and it is actually simple to install and use (at least the basics). Keeper, that Roon. Thanks for making me taking the effort of trying.
Roon is fantastic. Add one high quality source like Tidal or Qobuz and you'll be all set. Enjoy!
Glad you've got it all together. Enjoy the music!
