Cambridge Audio MXN10 Compact Half Width Network Player

The latest StreamMagic Gen 4 module and software power MXN10. It’s a system CA developed in London for no-compromise hi-fi sound and rock-solid streaming performance. It’s intuitive to use and can play back music with up to an incredible 768 kHz 32-bit PCM or DSD512 resolution – to keep the most demanding listener happy. 

“Now in its 4th generation, the StreamMagic module (a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 1.8 GHz) is constantly updated to support the latest advances in audio formats and streaming service features. StreamMagic has also seen 14,300 Android and 18,500 iOS app downloads in 2021.”

Streamed music once traded off hi-fi sound quality with convenience. Thankfully, things have changed: faster broadband speeds, newer audio CODECs, and many more services to choose from. Now, MXN10 takes our celebrated StreamMagic platform and makes it available to even more people. 

MXN10 can access both subscription and free Hi-Res streaming services, including internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz – all integrated for the best possible sound quality. With Apple AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in as well, you can access Apple Music and more, including BBC Sounds. And because MXN10 is Roon Ready, you can collate your digital music listening, regardless of origin, into a single magazine-style service. 

Just like traditional radio, only it arrives via the internet rather than the airwaves. You can listen to your favourite broadcast stations, specialist internet-only channels (including Soho Radio and NTS), plus many more from around the globe – all for free. Who knows what discoveries you’ll make on that specialist station from Tasmania? Plus, many stations are at a quality much higher than DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting), which is a digital radio standard. 

If a friend visits who doesn’t use the StreamMagic app (yet), they can play their favourite tracks wirelessly from their mobile with Bluetooth. Also, if they’ve any Hi-Res FLAC files on a USB drive, you can both listen in full hi-fi quality just by inserting the drive into the MXN10's USB port. 

Storage space becomes a challenge for us music fans at some point. Then there’s the price you’ve got to pay to hear a handful of ‘previously unreleased’ tracks exclusive to bulky limited-edition box sets. The compact MXN10 gives you the best of both worlds: hear the songs in incredible hi-res quality, without the worry of the impact on your shelves or wallet. 

Using MXN10 couldn’t be easier. Our StreamMagic app gives intuitive control over connected sources – to set presets, browse albums or curate playlists, all conveniently from your mobile device. Alternatively, there’s a row of neat buttons on MXN10’s sleek fascia that you can programme for direct access to internet radio stations and favourite playlists. 

Turn MXN10 around to see a pair of analogue RCA phono outs, a digital coax and optical out, a USB in, and a pair of wi-fi antenna sockets for wireless network connection – or a LAN cable input if you prefer. 

The analogue and digital outs also work simultaneously, meaning your hi-fi can also play nicely as a source in a multi-room setup.
