Hi all - I'm considering getting a music streamer added to my setup to play music off my NAS. I'm wondering if anyone had any experience with Cambridge before and if they deliver a high quality product. My setup is currently all Marantz equipment (my dealer was a Marantz fanboy) so it made me a Marantz fan. I want to make sure Cambridge is know for quality like Marantz.
 
Some of the things that intrigued me to Cambridge was it's upsampling capabilities and it looks like it has a great iOS app. The Marantz app is slow and sluggish. Sometimes it feels like it might crash.
 
I know the Cambridge AV Receiver supports everything the music streamer does and part of me is questioning if I should sell my Marantz Receiver for Cambridge.
 
Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!
