The Cambridge Audio CXN100 Network Player champions acoustic fidelity through advanced digital-to-analog conversion. It transforms high-resolution digital content into a pristine audio experience, ensuring the integrity of sound reproduction.
At the core of the CXN100 is the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC, which employs advanced signal processing techniques to deliver unprecedented detail and depth in audio playback. Using a high-performance DAC minimizes quantization noise and distortion, allowing for the extraction of fine nuances from audio files. The unit supports a wide range of digital audio formats with PCM processing capabilities reaching up to 768kHz, and DSD256, which ensures compatibility with high-resolution recordings. The implementation of balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs enhances the signal integrity over longer distances, while the use of precision engineered circuitry minimizes latency and guarantees a seamless streaming experience across various networks, thanks to its StreamMagic Gen 4 technology.
