App and hardware has been stable and rock solid without slowdowns or disconnects.
Gapped playback and clunky interface and being prone to freezing -- it's old tech after all.

But if you are spending a fortune, then you might as well make your purchase future proof.
You simply can't go wrong with this pair at this price point!
Competitiveness
I also compared the mxn10 to other dacs i own.
Integration with streaming services is a tad better than bluos.

With this model you can feed the pure unmodified digital files from qobuz flac files and other streaming services at the highest resolutions to your digital preamp or if functionality is your main concern stream from the qobuz app directly or stream virtually anything including pandora by selecting the cambridge audio as a “speaker” in ios and android

You do not get a screen as you do with its big brother the cxn but that model costs twice as much
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However if you do not have a digital processor with volume control or an analog preamp with volume control then the cxn may be your choice as that model does have volume control

Also the mxn model is mostly geared for those who do not want to connect the computer to your stereo but insist on the best sound
