If you're after a well-featured, high-performing music streamer under £1000, it's likely the Cambridge Audio CXN V2 won't only have made your shortlist but is sitting at the top of it. It's a multiple What Hi-Fi? Awards winner, after all – it has just won its sixth consecutive award at its price level, in fact, and before its time the streamer sitting in that spot was the original (V1!) CXN. So yes, Cambridge Audio's mid-range streamer is pretty special, to the point where I chose it to stream-savvy up my hi-fi system at home for several years.
What's also pretty special is its current Black Friday discount, which brings the price from £799 down to just £599 at Cambridge Audio, Amazon and (if you sign up to the retailer's free VIP program) Richer Sounds. I don't recall seeing it fall below £699 before, so this truly is a great price – and I'd be surprised if it fell any lower.
