My 6yr old Black 851N, which has served me very well and still sounds great. Only reason for selling as I’ve now got an Eversolo A10.
It has a huge array of inputs and outputs, so can be configured for inclusion into almost any system. Outputs include the AES/EBU and USB digital connection, which gives the best performance when connecting to an outboard DAC if required.
Having a high quality pre-amp and volume control section, it can even be connected directly to either powered speakers or direct into a Power Amplifier, or via a pre-amplifier, using either XLR balaced or RCA Phono cables.
I have always used it via the USB inputs with music stored on a USB drive. I don’t use streaming services like Qobuz eg, but regularly listen to internet radio, particularly the excellent Radio Paradise via the ethernet port.
The fully functional remote also can control other Cambridge devices if you have any. There is also an excellent mobile phone app with which you may search, and control all functions of the 851N, even creating and saving playlists.
I’m located in Brighton, but can deliver within 100 miles for fuel. Looking for £575.
