      StreamMagic App

      Over a Decade of Streaming Know-How

      AXN10 runs off of our latest StreamMagic Gen 4 module and software. It’s a system that we developed ourselves in London for no-compromise, rock-solid, hi-fi music streaming. It’s intuitive to use and is capable of playing music with incredible clarity – up to both 768KHz 32bit PCM and DSD512 (it’s all you’ll need!).

      Ready for the Revolution?

      The convenience of streamed music was once let down by its sound quality, and accessibility. That’s no longer the case, thanks to faster broadband speeds, better CODECs, a wider choice of service, and now because AXN10 brings our acclaimed StreamMagic streaming platform within reach of many more people.

      Whatever you Want

      AXN10 can access free and subscription hi-res streaming services, like internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer all built-in for best sound quality. With Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast built-in, you can access Apple Music, BBC Sounds and more. AXN10 is also Roon Ready, so can consolidate your digital music listening, regardless of source, into a single magazine-style service.

      Internet Radio, Live Transmission

      It’s just like radio, only it comes via the internet rather than by airwaves. You can listen to your existing favourite broadcast stations, specialist internet only ones (like Soho Radio and NTS), alongside many more from around the world – all free. Who knows what that indie show from New Zealand has instore for you? Plus many stations are at a quality way beyond digital radio.

      Made for Sharing

      If a friend pops round, who’s not got the StreamMagic app, they can share their latest tunes with you, via Bluetooth. Alternatively, if they have some exclusive hi-res FLAC files on USB stick, you can listen together on your hi-fi system simply by plugging the drive into AXN10’s rear USB port.

      Space Man

      One of the challenges of being a music fan can be where to store your collection – another’s the price some of those re-mastered limited editions, with a handful of ‘must-have’ tracks. With AXN10 you can get the best of both worlds: hear the music in incredible hi-res quality, and have no worries about where to squeeze the box-set in.

      Complete Control

      Interacting with AXN10 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 mobile or tablet. Alternatively, there’s a handful of neat buttons on AXN10’s sleek fascia to give direct access to your favourite playlists or internet radio stations.

        Wired for Sound

        Spin AXN10 around and you’ll notice the neat, upside-down writing over the terminals – this makes it easy when leaning over to connect it up to your amp. There’s analogue RCA phono out, digital coax and optical out, USB in, plus a pair of wi-fi antenna for your network – or a LAN cable input if you prefer.

        Hear all of the music.

        I use to hear music. Now I feel the music, as if I am in front of every instrument playing. Wonderful clarity and definition.

        I'm rediscovering Spotify!

        I recently bought a AXc35 Cd player and AXA35 amplifier & they were a big step up from anything I've had before. The AXN10 though, wow! It's no understatement to say that I am rediscovering Spotify. The quality and clarity it brings puts a smile on my face everytime I turn it on.

        Great upgrade

        Hi I bought this to replace an Arcam Play-Fi which was obsolete and loosing features. I have to say the improvements in sound quality and sonic stage have blown me away. The sound is so much closer to my primary source ( record deck) than I thought possible at this price point. Very happy
