Cambridge Audio CXN100 Network Audio Player

Cambridge Audio CXN100 Network Audio Player An up to 768-32 wireless streamer with balanced out and Roon Ready The all-new for 2024 CXN100 maintains the characteristic sound of the CXN while delivering a more refined audio experience compared to the CXN V2, offering improved control, precision, detail, timing, and top-end sparkle. It is particularly noted for its rhythmic, precise, and revealing performance, especially with high-resolution files. The upgrade from CXN V2 to CXN100 isn’t just a subtle change– it’s a complete mechanical redesign, with significant changes made to the analog stage. There are new, more efficient capacitors and op-amps offering a better signal-to-noise ratio and reduced distortion figures. Charlie Crossley, one of Cambridge Audio's top engineers, spent hundreds of hours changing and listening to audio-critical components to tune the entire audio stage. The CXN100 uses an ESS 9028Q2M DAC, which is so good that only one is needed, and also, its on-board timing filter is so advanced that there is no need of a post-DAC filter, simplifying the signal path. The CXN100’s firmware can be upgraded remotely, via Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic app. Features Stunning sound quality from an ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC StreamMagic Gen4 module for full streaming capabilities, including MQA Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz & Deezer built-in High-resolution Internet Radio Roon Ready Compatible with Google Home, Apple Airplay and Roon multiroom systems Offers USB audio, coaxial, and optical Wireless options are Chromecast built-in, Apple AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth Big hi-res color screen Specifications DAC: ESS ES9028Q2M Digital Inputs: USB Type B, USB drive, Bluetooth, S/PDIF coaxial, TOSLINK optical Sample Rates Optical: Upto 96 kHz, 32 bit Coax: Upto 192 kHz, 32 bit UPnP: Up to 768 kHz, 32 bit USB Audio (PCM; DSD): 768 kHz, 32 bit; x512 USB Drive (PCM; DSD): 768 kHz, 32 bit; x512 Bluetooth: SBC, AAC Outputs Analog: Balanced stereo XLR, stereo RCA Digital: S/PDIF coaxial and TOSLINK optical Services: Airplay 2, Chromecast built-in, Internet Radio, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, MQA, Qobuz, Deezer, Roon Ready Ethernet: 10/100 Mbit Wi-Fi: IEEE 802.11 ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Dimensions (WHD): 16.9" x 3.4" x 12.2" (430 x 85 x 325 mm) Weight: 7.83 lb.
