    Beautifully Redesigned, Easy-to-Use Music Server

    Considering adding streaming to your hi-fi system? Do it the easy way, the best sounding way, with the Cambridge Audio CXN100 Music Server. The technology and capabilities are not only right up to date, but also forward looking. And because it’s a network device, the CXN100 has firmware that can be upgraded remotely to receive the latest services via Cambridge Audio's convenient StreamMagic app.

    The convenience of streamed music was once let down by its quality. 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 with the uncompromised sonic excellence that comes with Cambridge Audio's over 55 years of designing hi-fi - and well over a decade perfecting the StreamMagic platform.

    "Reveals Ample Detail from Every Song"

    England's What Hi-Fi? magazine gave the CXN100 its top rating of Five Stars in a March 20, 2024 review. "The CXN100 doesn’t stray too far from its popular formula on the surface, but it has been completely redesigned internally – bringing with it more advanced specs and features and, for the most part, an improved audio performance."

    "What strikes us immediately is just how clear and articulate the new model is. There’s a sparkling clarity to the sound, revealing ample detail from every song we stream through the CXN100."

    "Entirely Worth the Asking Price"

    Another Five Star review comes via Simon Lucas in his T3 write-up. "Cambridge Audio didn’t have much to prove where high-performing music streamers are concerned - but with the CXN100 it’s improved on its own already sky-high standards and delivered a device that demands your attention..."

    Lucas concludes, "The Cambridge Audio CXN100 is a splendid music-streamer, more than worthy of carrying the ‘CXN’ badge, and

    Redesigned Inside and Out

    If you're familiar with the bestselling CXN V2, the first thing you’ll notice is the big hi-res color screen – all the better for album artwork. Cambridge Audio changed the volume control, too, giving it a reassuringly tactile response. Inside, it's ready for next-level performance with a new ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC and Cambridge Audio's Gen 4 StreamMagic module. Redesigned, expertly tuned, and simplified circuitry continue the update for a purer signal path.

    Your Ticket to Your Favorite Streaming Services

    The 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 Airplay2 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.

    "Highly Impressive and Compelling"

    The CXN100 reeled in a "Highly Recommended Award from AVForums. According to Ed Selley, "The CXN100 forgoes some of the breathtaking sophistication of some rivals to focus on delivering excellent sonic performance, combined with a level of user friendliness that speaks to the experience that the company has with components of this nature."

    According to Greg Handy, futureaudiophile.com, October 7, 2024, "Overall, the Cambridge CXN100 is a highly impressive and compelling network player."

    "The Go-To Network Player"

    "Cambridge Audio’s CXN100 is the go-to network player if you seek reliable music streaming with a big-brand user experience," observes Lee Dunkley, Audiograde, April 19, 2024<.

    "What’s more, it has the finesse of a high-end audio component with solid app control but comes at a real-world price. It’s a huge achievement, but then the London-based audio specialist knows its way around hifi and has created something of a niche for networked audio components."

    Unexpected Warmth and Depth

    The CXN100’s circuitry has been totally re-designed to capitalize on the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Digital Analogue Converter’s 32-bit capabilities. We’ve been able to simplify the audio signal path and tune our carefully chosen components’ performance 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.

    The Smooth and Commanding StreamMagic App

    If the ESS DAC is the CXN100’s heart, then Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic Gen 4 module is its brain. It runs a custom-made streaming platform and app that's responsible for the network player’s slick, seamless and stable listening experience from any digital source.

    The StreamMagic app is your remote control, giving you intuitive command of connected sources. You can curate playlists, program 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.

    Designed for Life

    With its elegant, minimalistic lines crafted from aluminum and steel, the CXN100 will endure physically and aesthetically for many years to come. Its ability to receive over-air updates should repay your investment too. Making products that last is just one of the ways that Cambridge Audio minimizes its impact on the planet and maximizes your listening pleasure. After all, great sound shouldn’t cost the world!
