Whether that's worth the £200-odd I splashed out on a Cambridge unit . . .

Agreed. In a hi-fi system, a network audio player is a far neater solution being a single-purpose hi-fi component, as opposed to a computer which is really a multi-purpose device.
I bought a new Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 (24-bit 96kHz) for £700. Now you can buy a brand new Stream Magic 6 V2 (24-bit 192kHz) for £450. This technology is changing way too rapidly for my liking. That said, I don't have plans to change my player anytime soon.
Which Cambridge Audio player did you buy?
