Excellent audiophile music streamer!
The CXN100 is an excellent audiophile level music streamer! I have a very respectable hifi system, and my streamed music has never sounded so good. I subscribe to Spotify and Tidal, and am finally able to fully appreciate the high resolution music that they offer. I am also streaming FLAC music files from a flash drive plugged into the CXN100, and these sound great as well. Music through the CXN100 has a huge soundstage, and is very detailed, and excellent dynamics. The Cambridge app is also easy to set up and connect, and easy to use.

Great Sound
I am very happy with this Cambridge Audio product. I am using it to play premium Amazon Music FLAC files. The IPhone app works great too. I think the only wish is that it also had an HDMI port.

Sounds great and easy to setup and use
I bought the CXN100 to stream music through services like Qobuz—I wasn’t interested in managing digital files or navigating endless setup options. After a lot of research, I chose the CXN100 and have been very happy with it. Setup was quick and intuitive, and the interface—both on the device and in the app—is clean and easy to use. The sound quality is excellent: clear, detailed, and balanced. If you want a high-quality streamer that’s simple to set up and just works, the CXN100 is a great option. Those who want deep customization might find it limited, but for straightforward streaming, it’s ideal.

Awesome!
I bought this to go with my Cambridge setup consisting of an AXR85 receiver and AXC35 cd player. I’m using it for two things. Streaming and as a dac for my tv. As a streamer I can’t fault it. As a dac for the tv I’m finding too much lag between the picture and sound. I never had this issue on the $20 dac from Bestbuy. Didn’t expect to have this on an expensive piece of kit. For now it’s 4/5 stars for me until there’s a patch for this or I find a work around.

Even the wife loves it!
Love it! Even my wife who always wonders why I waste/spend time just “listening to music” noticed the difference. The Cambridge is connected to a McIntosh C2300 amp going to Sonus Faber tower speakers. It’s like listening to your favorite songs for the first time. There were some negative reviews about the quality of the sound. Whatever your music source, make sure the settings are so that you get the best music stream. For example, on Spotify, set the audio quality to “Lossless.” Love the depth of sound. Very pleased with my investment!

Sounds terrible and functions just as bad
First this thing looks cheap. The display is absolutely ugly, looks like something from the 70's and not in a good way. The sound is life less and flat. I was wanting to upgrade from my bluesound node 2. This cxn100 doesn't hold a candle to the bluesound. No tone control. No sub out no remote all of which i was willing to over look until I heard the garbage sound this thing puts out. I tried it with my airpulse a300 pros it was terrible. Then we went to the living room played it through my Naim amp and wharfedale speakers, once again horrible, hallow and just lifeless. The app is just as bad. I don't know if you can see my other reviews, I don't usually trash products, but this thing is terrible. My bang and olufsen h95s sounded like a old-fashioned set of 1980s headphones. I couldn't be more disappointed.

He analizado este aparato desde dos perspectivas diferentes: como streamer y como streamer+DAC. Es un excelente streamer y no he notado ninguna diferencia a favor de mi lector de CDs incluso con la compresión ACC de Apple. Este era el objetivo de la compra y estoy muy satisfecho. En unos minutos pasé de tener una colección de 5.000 LPs y CDs a tener millones de opciones. Mi colección es ahora un elemento más de la decoración. Respecto a la función DAC que entre señal analógica a un amplificador, hay más que hablar si alguien se pregunta si es suficientemente buena como para reemplaza un DAC dedicado. No entraré aquí a discutir sobre los convertidores; si deberían haber usado los más modernos del Magic o algún otro tipo. Es difícil evaluar esto para los consumidores porque tras la conversión nos encontramos una sección analógica que adecúa la señal convenientemente. La mayoría de las diferencias entre DACs se deben más a la sección analógica que a los convertidores en sí mismo. Este es un aparato de gama media muy bueno. En mi segundo equipo, lo comparé con un Meridian 606. El Cambridge con un sistema multibit proporciona un mejor grave, una buena imagen sonora, sonido limpio y preciso y voces excelentes. El Meridian suena más aireado y con una mejor escena sonora aunque con menos rango dinámico. Tras esta comparación lo incorporé al equipo principal en una sala preparada de 32 m2. La comparación la hice con mi DAC Oracle DAC1000. Aquí las diferencias fueron notables. El Oracle como cabía esperar proporciona una mayor escena sonora, mejora los planos sonoros y el sonido es más delicado y musical. El la música coral y sinfónica encontramos importantes diferencias que en otro tipo de música pasa más desapercibido. El Oracle presenta una mejor escena sonora, la altura de los coros es la adecuada y las complejidades de esta música son resueltas com más detalle y precisión. Si tiene un equipo medio o usa auriculares con un pequeño amplificador, no necesita un DAC; este aparato da suficiente calidad para conectarlo directamente a un amplificador. Si por el contrario, usted tiene un sistema de alta gama, probablemente ya tendrá un DAC, así que ese es el que va a utilizar, porque no hay milagros en el audio. En este punto la cuestión que surge es, si dado que no vamos a utilizar el DAC, hubiera sido suficiente con otro aparato más sencillo y barato. La respuesta es, depende. Este aparato proporciona una versatilidad pocas veces encontrada a este precio. Viene adaptado para trabajar sin problemas con casi todas las fuentes actuales y es sencillo configurarlo y utilizarlo. Funciona muy bien con la Wi-Fi (siempre que no esté muy alejado) y la pantalla es atractiva. Como añadido ofrece una salida de señal fija y otra variable que permite activar el mando incorporado como regulador de volumen. Esto permitirá usar cajas con amplificación integrada fácilmente. A este precio es difícil encontrar un aparato tan versátil, bien diseñado y construido. A.

Cambridge Audio Lettore di Rete audio con DAC interno per unità digitali CD esterne, con anche il Chromecast incorporato, senza dimenticare la ottima e precisa Applicazione "Streammagic" di Cambridge Audio, che con un Cellulare, ma meglio con un Tablet!!! si può gestire l'Apparecchio stesso in tutte le sue funzioni, restando comodamente seduti e rilassati! A questo versatile apparecchio è stato collegato un vecchio MAC mini 2012 via USB per DAC, visto subito senza bisogno di installare Drive, (impostare CXN V2 su USB DAC livello 2), sulla USB retro per HDD esterno collegato SSD VANSUNY da 1TB, Rete interna WI-FI, Unità CD Cambridge Audio CXC in ingresso Coassiale, per l'uscita analogia ho usato le uscite bilanciate XLR collegate al Premaplificatore Audio EAR 912, con Ampli Finali Wyred 4 Sound X1000 e Diffusori Magnepan MG 3,5 ribbon, Cavi bilanciati Audio Tekne e Kiom per l'alimentazione. Devo subito dire che il cavo di alimentazione fornito è risultato mediocre, ed stato sostituito con cavo Hi END di costo purtroppo superiore all'apparecchio stesso, la differenza di prestazioni è drammatica e scioccante! credo che nemmeno Cambridge abbia provato e soprattutto a sentire!? Quindi grande bontà dell'apparecchio, si lavora con file a flusso digitale 192 khz 24/32bit tranquilli e precisi, purtroppo il tipo DSD si ferma al DSD64, questo è il difetto di limite che ha... In ogni modo si ripaga nella precisione del suono a patto di usare cavi di collegamento HI-End di alto costo, i miei file Audio (vecchie registrazioni dal vivo analogiche masterizzare 192/24-32, e digitali) inseriti nel piccolo SSD esterno vengono lette subito e perfettamente gestite, con l'ausilio di un Tablet Lenovo, è da informare che file audio devono essere inseriti in cartella che deve contenere una foto o schermata tipo jpg o png, questa fa da TAG miniatura visiva nel bel Display completo dell'Apparecchio, ed anche in elenco brani file nell'Applicazione "Streammagic" di Cambridge Audio, sul Tablet Android, vedere foto. Concludo, dicendo di essere molto soddisfatto del prodotto, come versatilità (c'è anche il Chromecast si va su You Tube Music Video si naviga e si suona a 48 Khz), con il Telecomando fornito si comanda sino a tre apparecchi, molto bello, il Suono, la cosa più importante è preciso e vero, anche in virtù di riprodurre le mie registrazioni dal vivo, che un serio vecchio Audiofilo passionista deve tenere come termine di paragone assoluto.

Easy set up. Great app. Works well with Airplay 2. Integrates well in the CX amplifier and CD player. Nice build quality. Nice remote. Sounds much better than I expected with the streaming! Star product.
