We shouldn’t have favourites, but CXN V2 is something else – audio specialists and our listeners agree. CXN V2 will instantly transform a classic hi-fi stack into a system with a bright future. And because it’s a network device, CXN V2 can be upgraded remotely, via our StreamMagic platform, to receive new features and services.
We present a 1000-piece limited edition of each CX Series 2 model in a minimalist matt black finish, with discreet gloss black branding. The same award-winning sound as CX, only in black. Why? Because we thought they’d look dead cool. If you want some, please don’t delay – CX Black Edition won’t be here for long.
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 CXN V2. It’s designed to provide the effortless accessibility of the format, but with the uncompromised sonic excellence that over 50 years of hi-fi experience lets us share with you.
CXN V2 has free and subscription hi-res streaming services, like internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect and Qobuz. With Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast built-in, you can access Apple Music, Amazon Music, BBC Sounds and more. CXN V2 is also Roon Ready, consolidating the experience of browsing your digital music files – no matter the source.
Getting hold of the music you want easily is one thing. Being moved by its fidelity is another. That’s why CXN V2 packs dual Wolfson WM8740 series DACs. By upscaling any digital music to an information-packed 24-bit/384kHz using our unique ATF2 technology, music is delivered with a warmth, depth and nuance not often associated with digital audio.
At the heart of CXN V2 lies our bespoke streaming platform and app, which we’ve been perfecting for over 10 years. It’s responsible for the network player’s slick, seamless and stable listening experience from any digital source. Built around StreamMagic module Gen3, CXN V2 can have its firmware upgraded over-the-air to receive updates and access to new services.
Interacting with CXN V2 couldn’t be easier. Our StreamMagic app allows intuitive control of all connected sources – to curate playlists, set presets or browse albums conveniently from your sofa. There’s a remote control and an intuitive selector wheel on the unit’s fascia too. CXN V2’s colour display confirms commands and shows the artwork of the album you’re enjoying.
CXN V2 is a complete streaming solution. Its mix of innovation, stability and audio excellence means it will play a key role in your musical enjoyment for years to come. With elegant, minimalistic lines, crafted from aluminium and steel, CXN V2 will endure both physically and aesthetically.

Solid unit with great sound...very much like my 851N was (it died a few weeks back). It's just not in black. The grey is OK, but CA needs to make color consistent across site...is it Grey, Luna Grey or Lunar Grey.
I've had this about 6 months now and it gets daily use, connecting via WiFi. I am mostly using the Internet Radio function with occasional Spotify and I also route my Cambridge CD player though it to use the better quality DACs. I have an oooold Cambridge amp (> 20 years but still going strong) and Wharfedale Diamonds.
I have just bought the BT100 dongle as it's heavily discounted (Nov 2023) which basically means I can run everything I have music on through the system now.
This unit is incredible - I don't pretend to understand what everything means and how it all works but it is so simple to set up and use via the StreamMagic app - I don't think I have used the remote since the day it arrived.
The unit is robust, looks great, feels solid. Plenty of output/input connections.
Sound quality is superb - I know my amp/speakers aren't the best but the whole set up sounds great to me and the additional quality it gives to the CD player is clearly noticeable.
It's hard to know what else to say - I just 'use it'. It's been great fun exploring internet radio from other countries and for stations not on local DAB.
I think the StreamMagic app is very easy to use and lets you do everything remotely you need to do, everything works flawlessly.
Basically, I'm dead impressed and am looking forward to having a play with the Bluetooth aspects when the dongle arrives.
Brilliant kit - can't remember what I did without it...

I use it as a source for a headphone amplifier, and the sound that the CXN V2 delivers is very fine and extremely musical.

When I listen to Tidal, it is very often that the cxn v2 randomly pauses the tracks, which is obviously very annoying and not something you'd expect from a $1000 player.
Just get it fixed.
