      Rewarding Performance

      You’ve spent years collecting CDs, so why not give them the CX sound upgrade too? CXC is a CD transport that’s designed to work with DACs and compatible amps – like our award-winning CXA81. You’ll hear incredible detail from your discs, possibly for the first time. CXC breathes new life into CDs – giving you many more years of enjoyment from them.
       

      CXC Black Edition

      CX Black Edition

      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.

      Do One Thing Well

      There’s a complete purity of purpose to CXC. It’s built to read the digital audio information on CDs with absolute accuracy and consistency. It then passes that signal on to a DAC, like our DacMagic 200M or the high-quality DACs found in CX amplifiers. Each component in CXC is focused on performing this task with precision.

      Precision Driving 

      The disc drive in CXC was originally designed by our engineers for our high-end CD players. The renowned S3 Servo is no multi-purpose disc drive. By spinning audio CDs at the exact speed required for data retrieval, it provides CXC with award-winning sonic precision and stability.

      Let’s Get Physical

      CXC benefits from an acoustically dampened metal chassis. It ensures that external forces don’t interfere with the digital signal. CXC has a choice of S/PDIF digital outputs – one coax, the other optical. Pick the one that best suits your DAC, be that a standalone unit or one integrated into an amplifier.

      Un diseño para siempre

      Complete Control

      CXC comes with a remote control, so you can choose exactly what to listen to. And all CX Series remotes can control every CX component, so you only need one device handy for key commands. Alternatively, use the controls on the front of CXC.

      Designed for Life

      A CD collection should last a lifetime. We designed and engineered the CXC CD Transport to do the same. The bespoke S3 Servo is built to play CDs with precision for many years to come. And with elegant, minimalistic lines crafted from aluminium and steel, CXC’s timeless design will endure both physically and aesthetically.

      Fantastica meccanica CD

      Mi occorreva una meccanica CD senza DAC perché volevo utilizzare quello presente nel mio amplificatore/streamer di rete. Dopo un po' di ricerche e confronti con amici appassionati di Hi-Fi mi sono deciso ad acquistare Cambridge Audio CXC v2 Black UK/EU e, dopo averlo collegato con un buon cavo coassiale da 75 Ohm, sono entusiasta della scelta fatta!!!!! Riproduzione impeccabile, gapless e (con mia somma sorpresa) legge ance i dati CD-Text se presenti sul supporto inserito!!

      Great sound but...

      Very great sound and good music experience.
      But with many of my former CDs the sounds cracks and some tracks skips.
      I found out that this doesn't happens with new CDs.
      I have taken care in the past of my CDs using good material and keeping them clean.
      Does this means that I can only use the CXC with new CDs?
      Does this means I have to buy back new CDs of most of my formers CDs? This would be very annoying.
      Please give me your suggestions.

      Excelent Sound...But...

      This CD-Transport is very good sounding and very nice built. Its Clear, precise, accurate and transports the emotion of Music. But i think the Display is too small and not bright enough and during the day you dont see much; this was solved better in every CD-Player i used in the last 25 Years (Sony Esprit CDP-X505ES, Naim CD5 i, Marantz CD 63 and some NAD). So, for Sound and Quality i give 5 Stars... but one minus for the poor Display. My wish :Just change next generation...use a bigger, brighter display...and it will be perfect

      Verdict is still out

      Nice CD transport but seems very picky on reading even brand new CD's. I am hoping that this reluctance to read some CD's on the first load is just because it's new. I have loaded 4 different brand new out of the package CD's that needed to be reloaded several times before it would read them. These same CD's load first time on other CD players in the house. I wish I knew how to see if there was an alignment error with the unit.
