At £364, this Cambridge Audio CXN V2 is a genuine bargain compared to the obvious alternative of buying the newer CXN100 for £899, and it sits well below the typical used market median of £358 GBP derived from recent listings, making it a strong deal. The asking price is actually just £6 above the 25th percentile of £350 GBP, placing it firmly in the “excellent value” zone for a used unit.
The CXN V2 remains highly regarded for its dual Wolfson WM8740 DACs, 24-bit/384kHz upsampling, and extensive streaming support including AirPlay 2, Roon, and Chromecast, delivering clean, detailed sound that still competes today. Since it’s a former flagship now out of stock retail, finding one this low in price—especially if it’s original-owner condition with accessories—is a rare buying opportunity for streamer/DAC enthusiasts who want proven performance without paying new-gen prices.
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.
