When Space Is at a Premium: Half-Width Cambridge Audio MXN10 Network Streamer Supports DSD512, Features AirPlay 2 and Built-In Access to Major Streaming Services
Want to put an audiophile-quality music streamer in a particular room but don’t think you have enough space? The half-width Cambridge Audio MXN10 solves that problem. Measuring a scant 2 x 8.5 x 7.5 inches (HWD) and claiming all of the technology and feature set of the larger AXN10, it can practically fit in your pocket — let alone on a shelf, beside existing decor, or even behind furniture. Featuring built-in Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and Bluetooth 5, the Roon-ready MXN10 is simple to set up and even easier to control thanks to Cambridge’s StreamMagic app. How you connect is up to you — and you’ve got options. MXN10 accommodates USB playback, wireless playback, and LAN cable hook up. A pair of RCA line-level outputs accompanies a coax and an optical digital output.
Inside, an ESS SABRE ES9033Q DAC and StreamMagic Get 4 module do the heavy lifting. Integrated TIDAL, Qobuz, and Spotify Connect add to the attractive simplicity and sonics. About the latter: You may be surprised how clear, detailed, and dynamic a streamer at this price point sounds. Credit Cambridge Audio’s decade-plus-long experience with the category and its own StreamMagic system. And while you may not notice due to its compact size, a lunar-grey aluminum face plate, black steel cabinet, and floating base provide vibration-resistant support and sleek aesthetics.
In addition to supporting about to DSD512 and 32-bit/768kHz PCM, the 2.6-pound MXN10 won’t go out of style anytime soon. Over-the-air updates ensure your machine will remain up to date and on the level with modern technology.
