    Hi All,

    I am looking at replacing a Denon Network Media Player and I am seriously looking at this model. What are you own opinions/recommendations and more importantly what will it cost with delivery to Dublin?

    Thanks

    Hi rednik,

    The Cambridge CXN V2 is probably one of the best streamers in that price range on the market. They sound absolutely incredible and the level of detail and control they add is stunning.

    I currently have an offer on this unit in sterling and can offer the CXN V2 in Lunar Grey for £699 plus £6.99 shipping to Dublin!

    Let me know what you think!

    Kind regards

    David

    Thanks again David, any reviews I have read on the CXN have all been very positive but being realistic I am looking for a black unit. I am not in any rush and will check out other options.

    There are not many in it's class so at the moment I am looking for a really good permanent black marker :D. It ticks everything I need including all the connections although I am looking at the next model up.

    Hey Rednik.

    When you say next model up do you mean the 851N?

    The 851N comes in at 1599.99 Euro and is in a Black finish.

    That's the one Kenny, I was looking at both models and ideally the CXN is the model of choice especially price wise. Colour is an issue and I am looking at ways around this and checking other makes but so far none seem to get close to these two.

    Hey Rednik.

    Yeah, they do seem to be the ones to go for.
    The CXN is the more popular but I think this comes down to price.

    We have sold several of the 851N's and had great reports back from the customers.

    If you could be tempted by the 851N I could offer one at £1140 or 1345 Euro :)

    Kenny.

    Kenny, just in the door from work to find the 851N & the NorStone rack in the hallway, fair play again on a great service. With everything disconnected  I am going to take this chance to paint my HT room but will let you know how I get on once I have everything back up and running. Stay safe all at RS.

    Kenny,

    I put all my kit back together late last week and started using the 851N on Friday. I created 2 inputs and profiles on my AVR for both digital and analogue and have found the sound to be excellent from both. The unit was very easy to connect and set up and the app is a very useful tool. One small issue, when I connected everything up I hardwired the internet and when trying to find radio channels over the internet all I got was server not found, I switched to wifi and it worked fine. I have since reconnected the ethernet cable and no issues. It really is a fantastic bit of gear and I have plenty of tweaking to do but very happy with the purchase.

    Hi Rednik,

    Thanks for the post! The 851N really is a class leading bit of kit! Delighted to hear the issue has been solved and you're up and running!

    Please do not hesitate to drop us a post if you need anything else!

    Kind regards
