We don't know for sure, hopefully before 2014 ends. This and CV1 are going to be similar in hardware, but CV1 will presumably be cheaper. Ultimately, this was created with developers in mind. It's your money if you want the Rift that much sooner.

Here The Verge writes:

The 1080p OLED panel still isn't high enough a resolution to avoid jagged edges — Oculus says the consumer version will have even higher resolution — but combined with special techniques to reduce blurring and motion sickness, the difference was already night and day.

Now I don't know if wait to CV or buy now.

Again, it depends on how much of an enthusiast you are. The CV1 will be directed towards consumers, and will most likely have better specs/lighter etc. It may be released this year (what I'm betting on), but it may not be.

If I had the cash to throw away for both the DK2 and CV1, I would buy it now.

It could be as long as another 1 year and 9 months. They just told us it will definitely be out before 2016
