Very pleased with the noise they're making anyway.
Got to try them with my Emotiva pre yet but strongly suspect they will better my Roksan CD player (& it may be that the Croft pre is better than the Emotiva..)

If you decide to move the Roksan on, give me a shout. Always liked their CD players, and their amps as well.

I've been using a CXC for a while now and I'm very happy with it. I'm using it with a tweaked MF X-DAC and an upgraded MF X-10 V3 tube buffer. I find the CXC to be a very accurate and lively performer, great build quality too.Trying out a Cambridge CXC transport just with an old Bushmaster at the moment (another DAC on it's way). Initial impressions are very good.

It was your comments & some favourable reviews that sparked my interest Ian & when one popped up on ebay at a reasonable price I thought I'd give it a try.
Thanks.

The Cambridge/M2tech combo was sounding a little sharp on some material through the Croft so now plumbed into the Emotiva and sounding far better behaved

Was getting a bit fed up comparing the Roksan with the m2tech/Cambridge combo (some things sound better on this, some things sound better on that..) so stuck this little duo on the front end and just listening to music for a change.
How's it sound?

Worse / better / the same? I'm honestly beginning to wonder if I know anymore Oliver.
