At A$800, this Cambridge Audio CXN v2 sits just under the median of A$686 but above the 25th percentile of A$670 in the current AUD used market, making it a fair price rather than a bargain, especially when compared to the newer CXN100 which retails for A$1899 new. While it’s not a strong deal by the database numbers, it’s competitively aligned with typical used listings and avoids the ambition of prices exceeding the 75th percentile at A$845.
The CXN v2 remains a highly regarded streamer/DAC for its dual Wolfson WM8740 DACs, excellent upscaling, and broad format support including DSD64 and 24-bit/384kHz. It excels in network streaming via AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and DLNA, and pairs beautifully with high-end stereo systems. Since the price is fair and the unit is from an unknown owner, assume it’s clean unless accessories or condition are flagged—otherwise, this is a solid buying opportunity for a proven, well-loved network player.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Cambridge Audio emerged from the innovative spirit of 1960s Britain, founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by a group of young engineers who spun off from Cambridge Consulting Group. Established in 1968, the brand launched with the groundbreaking P40 integrated amplifier—the first to employ a toroidal transformer, setting a new standard for dynamic power delivery in hi-fi design that endures in high-end gear today. This heritage of British engineering excellence propelled decades of award-winning products, navigating ownership changes including a revival under entrepreneur Vince Adams and acquisition in 1994 by Julian Richer and James Johnson-Flint of Richer Sounds.
The brand excels across core hi-fi categories, renowned for integrated amplifiers like the iconic A1 and P-series, alongside streaming DACs, network players, turntables, and all-in-one systems that prioritize pure analogue warmth and digital precision. Speakers, headphones, and cables round out a cohesive ecosystem, emphasizing accessible high performance without excess frills.
Positioned firmly in the mid-tier market, Cambridge Audio delivers premium British sound—detailed, rhythmic, and uncolored—at prices that democratize quality for discerning buyers. Free from corporate bloat, it holds a reputation for reliability and value, appealing to enthusiasts seeking sophisticated hi-fi that punches above its weight rather than chasing ultra-high-end esoterica.
