I am pretty happy with the result of Cambridge CXC except the digital output is lower than my calculation.

Please note, I have Linn LP12 turntable setup. My CD play is no worst than turntable which means a lot.

Sometimes, music can bring you to tears.

I've had various gear over the years. Some that were Class A Recommended brought me to tears after emptying my wallet. It wasn't due to SQ.
P.S. Nice Siglent scope BTW. I have an oldie Tektronix.

  Here are the problems of Cambridge CXC I try to fix:
  1. No output isolation transformer.
  2. Poor driving capability.
  3. Not true 75ohm.
  I measured the rising edge.
  1. Mine is 32ns
  2. Cambridge 38ns
  3. Tascam 60ns
  The slower rising edge, the worse jitter.
