Hi again,
I’m running my CD player through the CXN V2 and into the CXA 81. Not using CXN as a pre-amp, as I’ve been scared off by stories of it blowing speakers! Should I just run CD straight to the amp, or is what I’m doing better? Going to benefit from going through two DACs, or not?
 
You have the kit and the ears so why not try it for yourself and decide what sounds best
 
The CXA81 is an integrated amp. It would be normal to connect your CD player straight to it (be that via analogue or digital) and use it as it was intended. No benefit of going through two DACs, only the potential to degrade the sound.

Having the kit and using my ears, I couldn’t discern a difference, so thank you for your helpful response, DT79.
