      The Revolution Will be Streamed

      Streamed music once traded-off hi-fi sound quality with convenience. Thankfully, things have changed – thanks to faster broadband speeds, newer audio CODECs, many more services to choose from and now, because MXN10 takes our celebrated StreamMagic platform and makes it available to even more people.

      MXN10 can access both subscription and free Hi-Res streaming services, including internet radio, Spotify Connect, Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz – all integrated for best possible sound quality. With Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast built-in as well, you can access Apple Music and more, including BBC Sounds. And because MXN10 is Roon Ready, you can collate your digital music listening, regardless of origin, into a single magazine-style service.

      Internet Radio, Live Transmission

      Just like traditional radio, only it arrives via the internet rather than the airwaves. You can listen to your favourite broadcast stations, specialist internet only channels (including Soho Radio and NTS), plus many more from around the globe – all for free. Who knows what discoveries you’ll make on that specialist station from Tasmania? Plus, many stations are at a quality much higher than DAB.

      A Decade of Streaming Distilled 

      Our latest StreamMagic Gen 4 module and software powers MXN10. It’s a system we developed in London ourselves for no-compromise hi-fi sound and rock-solid streaming performance. It’s intuitive to use and can playback music with up to an incredible 768KHz 32bit PCM or DSD512 resolution – to keep the most demanding listener happy.

      The Gift of Music

      If a friend visits, who doesn’t use the StreamMagic app (yet), they can play their favourite tracks wirelessly from their mobile with Bluetooth. Also, if they’ve any Hi-Res FLAC files on a USB drive, you can both listen in full hi-fi quality, just by inserting the drive into MXN10’s USB port.

      Crowded House?

      There comes a time for us music fans when storage space becomes a problem. Then there’s the price you’ve got to pay to hear a handful of ‘previously unreleased’ tracks exclusive to bulky limited-edition box-sets. The compact MXN10 gives you the best of both worlds: hear the songs in incredible hi-res quality, without the worry of the impact on your shelves, or wallet.

      Using MXN10 couldn’t be easier. Our StreamMagic app gives intuitive control of connected sources – to set presets, browse albums or curate playlists, all conveniently from your mobile device. Alternatively, there’s a row of neat buttons on MXN10’s sleek fascia that you can program for direct access to internet radio stations and favourite playlists.

      Get Connected

      Turn MXN10 around to see a pair of analogue RCA phono outs, digital coax and optical out, USB in, a pair of wi-fi antenna sockets for wireless network connection – or a LAN cable input if you prefer. 

      The analogue and digital outs also work simultaneously, meaning your hi-fi can also play nicely as a source in a multiroom set-up.

      Excellent and affordable

      Undoubtedly the best streamer at this price. A great improvement on my previous Node 2i. Much more space and clearer definition of instruments. Very happy with sound and features. A real bargain at current price (£349).

      Small streamer

      Currently only used for streaming internet radio, and the quality of transmissions are not the highest quality. However there is a wide selection of broadcasts available albeit I haven't found the app displays them all.
      I find the sound acceptable but not wonderful. This I believe is more because of the source than the network player itself which is hard wired to my Naim amplifier

      The app which I have on my phone isn't brilliant. Annoyingly it doesn't always locate the network player and requests the ID details. There is no display other than LEDs on the streamer so details from that app are appreciated. I would nonetheless like more information than that offered.

      Response from Cambridge Audio

      Dear Rob,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your thoughts on your experience.

      Regarding internet radio quality, this is unfortunately limited by what is available in your area and what is being broadcast by the stations themselves. Your network player will always offer the highest quality stream available, but it can only play back what is being provided by the station. Some stations broadcast at lower bitrates, which can affect the listening experience, but there are often higher-quality alternatives available within the selection.

      We are sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing connectivity issues with the app. If the StreamMagic app is not consistently detecting your network player, we’d be happy to help troubleshoot this for you. Please reach out to our support team via the Contact Us page on our website and submit a support enquiry—we’ll do our best to get everything working smoothly.

      We truly appreciate your support and will take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our products and app experience.

      Best regards,
      Cambridge Audio Customer Support

      What’s Not to Like?

      I was using my Apple AirPort Express in combination with the Audioengine D1 DAC to stream using AirPlay from my iPad playing Apple Music (AFLAC). I was wondering if a new network streaming device would improve the sound. I have a nice Yamaha receiver with NHT speakers/subwoofer along with Andrew Jones Pioneer tower speakers. I would say that for the $1800 investment in those components it sounds pretty damn good. Anyway, back to the MXN10. The Audioengine D1 DAC uses a chip that is about 10 years old. The MXN10 uses a recent chip which would be considered an upgrade. So I am streaming as with my original setup using Airplay. I immediately noticed a brighter, cleaner, fuller sound which is amazing considering that I had a pretty good setup to begin with. I was going to return the unit if I couldn’t detect an improvement. Instead I am the proud owner of what is considered the best network streamer for the money.
