Cambridge Audio CXN100 SE Network Music Streamer, Black

The Cambridge Audio CXN100 SE is a network music streamer for an existing hi-fi system, finished here in black. It builds on the CXN100 by adding an HDMI eARC connection, so the sound from a television, including its built-in apps and anything connected to it, can be played through your amplifier and speakers. Conversion is handled by an ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 digital-to-analogue converter. Cambridge's StreamMagic platform provides Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer and internet radio, and the player also supports Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Google Home and Bluetooth aptX HD. Roon Ready certification allows it to be used as an endpoint within a Roon library. A high-resolution colour screen on the front panel shows artwork and track information, and the unit can be controlled from Cambridge's StreamMagic app. A pre-amp mode lets the CXN100 SE control volume directly, so it can feed a power amplifier or active speakers, and multiroom capability allows it to be grouped with compatible Cambridge products. Additional digital inputs and both RCA and balanced XLR analogue outputs are provided on the rear panel. An amplifier or active speakers are required, as the streamer has no built-in power amplification.
