Cambridge Audio AXN10 & MXN10 Network Streamers Overview

Although the new Cambridge AX and MX streamers don't have onboard MQA decoding, there is a solution for a customer really wanting it. You could pair one of the new streamers with the DAC Magic 200 and use the DAC Magic to decode the signal and unfold MQA. Just connect them together with a coax digital cable. Not only will you get a better DAC chipset producing the sound, but they will get MQA as well. The MX would be a perfect pairing since it and the DAC magic are about identical in size.

We have always loved Cambridge Audio products for their value and sound that just draws you into the music. Following up on their super successful CXN v2 music streamer, Cambridge has released two new streaming models, the MXN10 & AXN10, that set a new standard for price and performance while still providing that classic Cambridge Audio Sound. Both designs offer the same set of features making it easy to get into the fun world of high-resolution music streaming. The full-width AXN10 brings the world of hi-res music to much-loved hi-fi set-ups and other audio systems. The MXN10's half-width footprint offers greater flexibility of placement.

Cambridge Audio has really good products. Build quality is awesome and they have products in every price range. sick stuff

[ErnieChartier]

This is a great announcement! I already have a Cambridge CXNv2 in my main system system in the Den. Can't wait to add the MXN10 to my living/dining space!

[bootneylee]

This is awesome. I have their CXUHD Oppo clone for my 4k player. I've been streaming Tidal over bluetooth to my Marantz 7011 through a Sabre DAC with LDAC, but I really want a dedicated network streamer. 😮 Lookin at you Cambridge....

Any idea why native Amazon Music HD support is so hard to come by with all but very few network streamers (HEOS, BlueOS, WIIM) ??? Would LOVE to get Cambridge Audio as their products are great value !

[scottbaylor]

I have a CXNV2. Not sure how you access Amazon HD but if you can, that would be cool.

Went for the AXN since it has lots of room inside, planning to upgrade the power supply. Also will get a better power cable.

[paulpillich]

Exactly what I wanted to know! Thanks!

[kps.]

Wanted a Cambridge Audio set up for years but have never been able to afford it. Finally hoping this year might be the chance. Looking at AXN10, AXA35 & Wharfedale Diamond 12.1. Might throw a AXC35 in there too for my old CDs
Think it'll cost around 950-1, 300

Interesting. Could you clarify what they mean by Tidal support? Does it have Tidal Connect such that I can pass the stream off to the streamer and turn my phone off and the music (album or playlist) keeps playing? Thanks. Oh, also, can DSD files be played from a connected USB flash drive? How do you "see" what is being played or can you?

[grahamduddridge]

So … newbie question … will I get better quality streaming by plugging Ethernet direct into either of these (instead of using the WiFi)?

[ladevinette]

Greeting
As a transporter what’s the coaxial and optical output bandwidth
Thanks in advance
Cheers

[derya]

What would you recommend to someone who only uses local drive (USB stick) to listen to music on this device and doesn't need all the streaming functions?

[lawrencekwan]

Comparison to bluesound 2i ...it's worth to upgrade from 2i to axn10? Sound quality will be better than 2i?

[MD-wwbh]

Maybe explain how you actually use the thing? Where is the display?

[AlanChown]

Are you sure it gets Amazon HD? Its not clear on any blurb I've seen.

[Ruger]

No USB digital out to DAC. Bummer, that was the deal breaker for me.

[navinadv]

What do streamers like the Cambridge Audio MXN/AXN/CXN, NAD CS1, Yamaha WXC 50, Arcam ST60, Arylic S50 Pro+ etc have that the WiiM Pro Plus doesn’t? The Arylic is the only one that competes at the price point. The rest are 2x to 3x the cost of the WiiM.

[johntocho]

Bring back Leon, he was more thorough as to why I might want the product.

[thomasward]

This is going to be a hard sell at this price point, the Wiim Pro is only $149 and has a ton more app support.

[SnowBob]

Why so snarky about engineers using measurements to design gear?
