I've tried finding adaquate solutions for this particular feature. 
In previews versions of Adobe Audition, you were able to (before importing) preview the file. 
This seems to have been deleted as a feature.

Having just switched over to CC - with some hesitance, for workflow sake, I'm in need of this particular function. 
Is there a work around, or a setting I may be missing?

It's not deleted, and it still works fine, but you have to use Audition's Media Browser to view your files - there's a player button at the bottom of it.

Thank you for that. 
My only issue now is trying to get to network drive. 
I can see the designation for my local hard drives - but there doesn't seem to be a way to add a dedicated shortcut to a network drive, for preview.

No, I don't think you can do that, and this appears to be by design. Audition is not too keen on working directly with any online files - as a lot of people have discovered, especially when they try to save directly to one. For reliable results, local working is very much advised.
