Cambridge Audio CXC – Precision CD transport for uncompromising digital playback

The Cambridge Audio CXC is a high-quality CD transport designed without compromise for precise digital audio playback. Engineered for perfect collaboration with an external DAC or an amplifier with an integrated D/A converter, it extracts the maximum potential from every CD. For discerning hi-fi enthusiasts, the CXC offers a focused, purely digital solution without unnecessary extras – but with maximum sonic fidelity.

Dedicated CD transport for highest sound accuracy

The focus is on a clear concept: to read CDs with absolute precision and pass the unaltered digital signal on to a high-quality DAC. Instead of integrated converter technology, the CXC deliberately relies on a specialized transport design. The result is exceptionally clean signal transmission with impressive detail resolution and precision.

Each component fulfills a clearly defined purpose. This focus on the essentials results in performance that elevates even demanding digital setups to a new level.

S3 servo drive – precision at its core

At the heart of the Cambridge Audio CXC is the renowned S3 servo CD drive. This specially developed drive unit spins each disc at a precisely controlled speed and reads the digital data with the highest accuracy. Error correction is reduced to a minimum, resulting in a particularly stable and precise digital signal.

Even extensive CD collections benefit in the long term from this durable and reliable technology. The precise control ensures that every recording – from studio albums to live concerts – can reach its full sonic potential.

Digital flexibility with coaxial and optical output

Equipped with S/PDIF coaxial and TOSLINK optical digital outputs, the CXC can be flexibly integrated into existing hi-fi systems. The purely digital signal transmission guarantees an interference-free connection to external DACs or digital amplifiers.

Furthermore, the device supports gapless playback, ideal for live recordings, concept albums or DJ mixes without disruptive pauses between tracks.

Acoustically optimized housing for interference-free performance

An acoustically damped metal housing made of aluminum and steel reliably protects the sensitive internal components from vibrations and electromagnetic interference. This robust construction contributes significantly to the consistently high playback quality.

Visually, the CXC impresses in elegant Lunar Grey with a minimalist design that blends seamlessly into both modern and classic hi-fi setups. Timelessly designed and precisely crafted, it will remain a stylish centerpiece of any system for years to come.

User-friendly operation and perfect system integration

In addition to its high-quality technology, the CD transport impresses with full remote control and seamless compatibility within the Cambridge Audio CX series. This allows for convenient control and optimal coordination of the entire system.

With its well-thought-out design, high-quality components and uncompromising focus on digital precision, the Cambridge Audio CXC is aimed at anyone who wants to get the most out of their CD collection.
