Cambridge Audio AXN10
The Cambridge Audio AXN10 is a streamer that extends the existing AX series offer to the world of digital audio streaming. The AX series already includes: integrated amplifiers and CD players. The AXN10 is based on the latest version (Gen 4) of the StreamMagic platform, a technology created by Cambridge Audio to ensure stable and user-friendly playback of various types of files (up to 768KHz 32bit PCM and DSD512). Inside is the ESS Saber ES9033Q DAC.
The AXN10 uses the latest generation 4 StreamMagic module and software, which is intuitive to use and can reproduce music with high purity - both up to 768kHz 32-bit PCM and DSD512.
The chasis was made to perfectly match the existing line of devices, which will be appreciated by many owners of Cambridge Audio amplifiers. The MXN10, on the other hand, is a smaller and cheaper model, which is almost the same inside. A smaller device makes it much less visible in the system, and also easier to set up. It is an ideal solution for people with limited space, as well as for those who would like to hide the device in a cabinet.
Outputs: analog line out, coaxial and optical out.
Inputs: the ability to connect an external drive with the help of a USB port and an Ethernet input for fans of cable communication.
