Cambridge Audio CXN100
High-quality streamer with integrated services, Roon and much more
Streaming is extremely convenient and easy to use. It offers an endless selection of music, a plethora of genres and very high sound quality. If you choose the right service, that is. However, streaming is much more than a few online services. It's also the ability to run a local server on your network, that you can access. Or connecting to a Roon core, or listening to online radio stations, or your favorite podcast from your phone via Chromecast or AirPlay.
The Cambridge Audio CXN100 can do all that, and it does it extremely well. And controlling it is a breeze, using the free app for iOS or Android. While the software side is extremely capable, we're excited to say that Cambridge Audio hasn't skimped on the hardware either.
The CXN100 comes with a number of digital inputs and a ESS Technology ES9028Q2M DAC setup on board. Connect your other digital sources to the CXN100 and takes advantage of its high quality D/A conversion.
