Network Audio Players

Pros

It looks very soundly made

Cons

A very small text on the display, too confused menu. The ESS DAC seemed quite dry in sound, a large emphasis on high frequencies, but with the lack of proper lower frequencies. In general, the device seemed very overstated by the price tag

Review

I took this device to wiretap. As a result, I did not like it. Of the minuses, a very small text on the display, too frozen menu. The ESS DAC seemed quite dry in sound, a large emphasis on high frequencies, but with the lack of proper lower frequencies. In general, the device seemed very overstated according to the price tag. In my performance, Teac and Aurender beat him

Pros

Sound. Interior exploration with USB drive, Cromecast

Cons

Codec Bluetooth SBC-Low-Complexity Sub-Band Codec

Review

Here they asked a question about Sbersvuk and Yandex Music. Both work through Cromecast. For configuration, you need to install the Google Home program, add Primar NP5 to the Cromecast list of accessible accessories on the home network, then the broadcast will be available in SberZvuk and Yandex Music. The rest of the information is enough on the network, everything is relevant. Separate respect Polt.ru. Great service, special thanks to manager Nicholas in the cabin of Krasnodar.

In terms of functionality, the CXN exceeds everyone in its price category and many with a price of 1.5–2 times higher. He keeps the WIFI connection well, but I connected it with a cable. The management is very simple, in the applications you can see CXN V2 as an external device. An excellent thing Chromecast is supported in Yandex-music services and ZVUK (Sberbianculations). At the ZVUK service from a premium subscription (199 rubles per month), tracks in CD quality are available. But the music on Tidal Hifi sounds better. Before buying at Pult.ru, I compared with Primar Prisma and Hegel H95. The sound of Cambridge seemed to me more lively than Primare, more neutral and airy than Hegel. Of course, Primare and Hegel have their advantages, but in general, by sound these are devices of the same class. Cambridge sound is closer to me. The sound of Cambridge CXN V2 is English - soft, but with good dynamics, neutral tonal balance, the sound is very detailed, with a good scene, a lot of air. The CXN works well as an external DAC. According to the genres, everything plays equally well. Jazz and classic sound magical. But the CXN recording disadvantages will show you clearly. My opinion Cambridge CXN V2 is an outstanding device, the best in its price category and may well compete with more expensive devices Many thanks to the consultants Pult.ru for listening and organizing the purchase.

Pros

Acceptable sound, connection capabilities

Cons

Regularly loses Wi-Fi, there is no Deezer service, dull backlighting the selection of a menu item on the screen

Review

A good, but definitely not outstanding sound. He regularly loses the Wi-Fi network and, accordingly, interrupts the sound both on the Internet radio and on music services (about 2-3 minutes of the break every 20-40 minutes). At the same time, there are no problems from the phone in the same network at all. This is the second device, the first did not join the network at all, I had to make an exchange. I probably would have handed it back and this instance, but it is not clear what to change.

Pros

Sound, function, application, balance

Cons

Does not support Deezer (at least for now)

Review

Acquired for a ligament with Rotel 1572MKII and Bowers Wilkins 705 Signature Connected at a balance exit. Streamer added details and focus scene (in comparison, say with the SD streamer Maratz 8006) The sound is good, and the scene and the air, while you can’t hear sharpness The application is generally cool, it happens that sometimes it can lay something (but on average the market is good). It is unequivocally worthy to be listened even in comparison with apparatus more expensive
