CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CXC V2

The Cambridge CXC V2 represents the evolution of the CD transport in the renowned CX series from the British brand, designed to deliver precise and reliable Compact Disc playback. Engineered to efficiently extract all digital data stored on CDs, it features an advanced error correction system that ensures faithful and flawless audio reproduction. Its digital outputs allow seamless connection to any Hi-Fi component equipped with a digital input—such as external DACs, integrated amplifiers, or active systems—making it an ideal partner for the CX A61 and CX A81 integrated amps, as well as high-end DACs like the DacMagic 100 and 200, or devices from other brands.

Maintaining an entirely digital signal path, the CXC V2 houses internally isolated components to minimize interference and maximize audio performance. Its sturdy chassis, made of acoustically damped aluminum and steel, shields the signal from external disturbances. The design aligns perfectly with the rest of the CX family, offering front panel controls and a remote control included in the box.

The CXC V2 supports gapless playback, a must-have for fans of live albums or classical works, allowing uninterrupted listening with no pauses between tracks and preserving musical continuity. Its proprietary Servo S3 technology precisely regulates disc rotation speed and minimizes read errors, delivering clean, authentic sound true to the brand’s signature British audio character.

Its flexibility is further enhanced when paired with the CXN V2 network player, which features an ATF2 digital filter capable of upsampling incoming data to resolutions of up to 24-bit / 384 kHz. This improves sound quality and significantly reduces digital jitter—a type of distortion that can affect digital audio playback. For those seeking the highest quality digital-to-analog conversion, the CXC V2 can easily be paired with high-end external DACs, such as Cambridge's DacMagic models or Chord Electronics’ reference-level DACs, known worldwide for their exceptional performance.

To ensure optimal signal transmission, the CXC V2 should be connected to other components using high-quality digital cables, such as Toslink optical or S/PDIF coaxial cables. Cambridge especially recommends Chord C-Lite cables for their transparent, uncolored transmission that stays true to the source and the British sound philosophy. For even higher performance, the Clearway and Shawline cable series offer outstanding shielding against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, delivering a clean and undisturbed listening experience.

In short, the Cambridge CXC V2 is a reference-level CD transport, ideal for enthusiasts looking to rediscover and enhance their Compact Disc collections with superior precision, reliability, and sound quality, integrating effortlessly into any high-end Hi-Fi setup.
