Uncompromising comfort

Everyone loves the convenience of digital audio content. However, no one enjoys the compromises that sometimes come with audio playback. That's why the CXN (V2) was designed to offer easy access to digital audio content, but with the pristine sonic performance of over 50 years of Cambridge Audio's Hi-Fi heritage. Ease of use meets the highest performance quality.

The music of the world, just the way you want to hear it

Digital audio is available from many sources - and the CXN (V2) is capable of connecting you to your favorite sources. Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Qobuz and TIDAL offer endless content. Chromecast integration simplifies operation and the CXN (V2) is Roon Ready certified, making it even more efficient to get your NAS and UPnP audio files in one click. Add digital optical and coaxial inputs, asynchronous USB ports, aptX Bluetooth (via an adapter) and internet radio to this equation and you have the CXN (V2) that catapults the music of the world right into your home.

The whole story

Getting the music you want is one thing. Being emotionally moved by the fidelity of the title is another. And that's why we've equipped the CXN (V2) with dual Wolfson WM8740 digital-to-analog converters - upscaling digital audio information to an information-packed 24-bit / 384kHz resolution using Cambridge Audio's unique ATF2 technology music is rendered with a kind of warmth, depth, gradation and unity not normally directly associated with digital audio files.

You have full power in your hands

CXN (V2) boasts amazing processing that no other well-known competitor can match. Cambridge Audio's acclaimed StreamMagic platform ensures a smart, seamless and stable listening experience from any source, and its pre-configured MPEG-DASH and HLS compatibility mean live streams are both consistent and of high quality.

Control. Clear and simple.

Interacting with the CXN (V2) couldn't be easier or more satisfying. The bespoke Cambridge Audio StreamMagic app gives direct, robust and intuitive control over all connected sources - create playlists, set preferences or browse albums in a practical and convenient way. You can then use the large, colorful and clear fascia display to view your typing or the album art of the music you're listening to.

We make the best even better

Four straight What Hi-Fi? awards speak volumes and show just how popular the CXN (V2) is - but Cambridge Audio is always looking for ways to improve even further. A constant development program, a constant desire to achieve even better performance, and the ability to remotely update the CXN (V2) when needed shows that the best network audio streamer just keeps getting better.
