No experience with bluesound. I have the Cambridge 851n which is similar to the CXN. I listen to internet radio through the Cambridge, and I can also listen to the same internet radio through my Marantz AV8802a. The Cambridge, with its upsampling, always sounds slightly better. I use Nordost Frey 1 interconnects, but what really made a difference was upgrading the power cable to an old Nordost Vishnu.
The Cambridge does have a remote and a phone or iPad app. The app is not very good when using my external hard drive, but for the internet radio it is fine.
If you are a jazz person, let me recommend radio jazz.fm from Poland. Broadcasts at 192k with some very interesting programming.
