Cambridge Audio CXN 100 Network Player
Excellence from Cambridge Audio
No-one should play favourites; CXN100 is something else. Hi-fi specialists and listeners alike loved its predecessor, the CXN V2—just wait until they hear this.
CXN100 will instantly transform a classic hi-fi stack into a system with a bright future, and because it’s a network device, CXN100’s firmware can be upgraded remotely via our StreamMagic app to receive the latest services.
The first thing you’ll notice is the big high-res colour screen—all the better for album artwork. Also changed is the volume control. The volume control has been redesigned to perform one function effectively while providing a reassuringly tactile response. Inside, things have been taken up a level with a new ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC and Cambridge Audio's Gen 4 StreamMagic module.
Expertly tuned and redesigned circuitry for a purer Signal path completes the picture.
Once, the quality of streamed music detracted from its convenience. That’s no longer the case—thanks to better CODECs, broadband speeds, and products like CXN100. It’s designed to deliver the effortless accessibility of the digital format, but with the uncompromised sonic excellence that comes with over 55 years of designing hi-fi and well over a decade perfecting their StreamMagic platform.
CXN100 has free and subscription hi-res streaming services, like internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect with MQA, Qobuz, and Deezer on board for the best available sound quality. With Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in, you can access Apple Music, Amazon Music, BBC Sounds, and more. CXN100 is also Roon Ready, consolidating your digital music browsing experience in one place.
CXN100’s circuitry has been totally redesigned to capitalise on the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Digital Analogue Converter’s 32-bit capabilities. The audio signal path and tune have been simplified, and the carefully chosen components’ performance has been optimised to make sure that nothing comes between you and the original recording.
The result? A warmth, depth, and nuance not often associated with digital audio.
If the DAC is the CXN100’s heart, then Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic Gen 4 module is its brain. The custom-made streaming platform and app, which has been perfected for well over a decade, is being run to provide a seamless listening experience. It’s responsible for the network player’s slick, seamless, and stable listening experience from any digital source. CXN100’s firmware can also be upgraded over-the-air to receive updates and access to new services.
A beautifully smooth volume dial and large colour display take the experience of playing music on the CXN100 to a new level. The StreamMagic app is your remote control, giving you intuitive commands for connected sources—curate playlists, programme presets, or browse albums from the comfort of your listening position. CXN100 also works with the physical remote control supplied with CXC and CXA components.
With elegant, minimalistic lines, crafted from aluminium and steel, CXN100 will endure physically and aesthetically for many years to come. Its ability to receive over-the-air updates should repay your investment too. Making products that last is just one of the ways that Cambridge Audio can minimise their impact on the planet and maximise your listening pleasure. After all, great sound shouldn’t cost the Earth.
