    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.

    Choose More Choice

    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.

      Revives an Old Stereo - now streaming music at hig

      Smart compact unit that sits on top of the old stereo.
      Now the stereo is connected to the internet, so worldwide internet radio stations can be heard at a high quality - no more listening over small tinny smartphone or iPad speakers.
      Very easy to set up.
      Helpfully automatically converts incoming digital music to analogue for the old stereo.
      Loads of streaming services possible (Spotify etc.) - so far Chromecast has been tried - so YouTube music now comes alive.

      This product is exceptional!

      I bought this for a hybrid Kawai K300 AURES 2 model piano. The piano has bluetooth built in to play music through the speakers, but the bluetooth is very annoying to use as it has to be enabled manually every time the piano is turned on.

      This device has resolved the issue allowing a permanent ready for Spotify Connect etc. Also I did not expect this part but the music quality played through the piano speakers is DRAMATICALLY superior when it is played via the MXN10 streamer rather than via the piano's in-built bluetooth. Not like the placebo differences people with HiFi systems sometimes claim, but a genuinely vast improvement.

      It is also very capable of outputting extremely high volume sound. At higher volumes my piano was unable to handle the sound and the power would cut out. Fortunately the app has a volume limiter, so I was able to set max volume to 65%.
