I own the Cambridge Audio CXA81 amplifier, CXC CD transport and the CXNv2 streamer.. Basically the setup in the second picture that you've shown at 0:40. Now I don't have the MXN10 but if it sounds as good as my CXNv2. Then it is definitely an instant recommendation. The ESS Sabre DAC's are really good. My CXA81 has one, as does the Loxjie DAC which is connected to my MacBook Pro. I'm using Roon most of the time, but the StreamMagic app is very useful as well. Since I'm subbed to Tidal, Qobuz and Deezer it makes my CXNv2 act as the central hub in my living room.
Great review. Can you use the Analogy outs and the coaxial out at the same time? I am thinking analogue to my subwoofer and coaxial to my DAC /amp /speaker chain.
The analog out must use the internal DAC, otherwise how would the Digital to Analog Concersion be made. That said, are you saying that typically you use, a different DAC, but this intrrnal DAC is good?
Another hifi equipment e.g. CD player or amp I’ve used in the past. The analogy out has been very lack lustre. I was glad to hear the DAC was quite decent, it impressed me.
HQ radio - which radio?does it play TuneIn? If you set a playlist to a preset,does it start from the 1st song on a list when played back againor from the one you stopped it?
Hi, Great question, from my experience. It played from the start each time - from my play list on tidal. Not sure if there’s been a firmware update since my review and if anything had changed.
@@marioplus321 As far as any streamer I've experienced, you're correct. I personally don't care for it picking up where it left off, that's how I remembered this small detail, anyway...lol.
Hi, I haven’t listen to the CXN100, so it’s hard for me to give an opinion on that model. However, I had the AXN10 hooked up to my McIntosh gear and I was very happy with it. I even purchased one.
great review!
Thank you! Much appreciated

Thks for this review!!

Hi,
Thank you, good question - I didn’t test that unfortunately.

@@concordhifi so playing back from the start is a common (drawback) feature on any system. It prevents me from setting it on.
@@marioplus321 WiiM Ultra plays from where you left off on your playlist, once you start it up.
@@tima.478 ! It must be the only one that does it.

I'd love to see the songs in your play list!
Hahahaha - I should add Meat Loaf - I’d do anything for Love but I won’t do that
I’m seriously considering either the cxn100 aAXN10, the latter being twice the price of the former! Is the increase in price justified?

Amazon music?
Hi, not sure if it’s coming in an update. Be worth maybe sending Cambridge Audio a message on instagram, if Amazon Music will be added
