Anyone with Cambridge CXN V2 experience?

All - I am considering Kevin’s CXN V2, but I am trying to make sure it will do what I am looking for it to do, and am hoping someone here will know…
I do not use any streaming services, nor am I interested in them. However, I have about 3tb of FLAC files on a portable SSHD. I currently have the drive connected to my Oppo 105 to access and play my FLAC files. While I enjoy the Oppo 105 sound, the interface to the SSHD is a bit clunky, and it freezes occasionally (from such a large file database, I’m told).
So the question is this - can I plug the SSHD into the CXN V2 and access all of my FLAC? I notice that the Cambridge has no video out, so has anyone used the “library” app? How would you rate it?
Thanks in advance for anyone that can help with their experiences…

I always used roon so I can't comment unfortunately. I do agree that the app leaves a lot to be desired...Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

Question: Do you need the Cambridge to act as a DAC and streamer, or just the streamer? I wasn't sure if you were using your Oppo for output or if you had a separate DAC.For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...
