Our MXN10 network player can breathe new life into a much-loved set-up â€“ opening up a whole world of Hi-Res music for you. Its half-width compact footprint offers flexibility of placement.
MXN10 can access stacks of free services, like internet radio, as well as the well-known premium ones â€“ many offer free trials, so you can pick your favourite.
It will play hi-res music from USB sticks and NAS drives too. Thatâ€™s digital music from a variety of sources, all conveniently controlled by our intuitive StreamMagic app on your mobile phone.

Demonstration Tracks

At Cambridge Audio we use our ears constantly, both as passionate music lovers and audio professionals looking for test examples.
We test our products with all types of content and the following suggestions are our picks for a great demo experience for your customers.

XANNY
by BILLY E ILI SH
When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?(2019)

Xanny by Billy Eilish is recorded so well and you can find Hi-Res versions of the track, using your favourite streaming service. Itâ€™s clear she is close to the mic, which feels like sheâ€™s speaking directly into your ears.
And while itâ€™s good to listen to this quite loud, you had better watch out for that distorted bass breakdown from 0:36!

ABRAHAM, MARTIN & JOHN by
MARVIN GAYE
That’s the Way Love Is (1970)

This version of Abraham Martin and John by Marvin Gaye uses the soundstage brilliantly. Each instrument has their own place and Marvin’s beautiful vocal is right there, creating its own massive circle of joy in front of you.
A good way to check your speaker placement. You should sit right in between your speakers to get the full effect of this production.

Great British Sound
What does ‘British Sound’ mean? To us it’s about removing any barriers that might distort or alter the original recording and not adding any of our own flavour. What you hear from our products is a pure and unfiltered
‘British’ sound – just as the artist intended.

Streaming is Easy

Add MXN10 to your existing system, no matter how large or small to access a multitude of streaming services, internet radio stations and hear them like never before.

CONVENIENCE AND QUALITY
The convenience of streamed music was once let down by its sound quality, and accessibility. That’s no longer the case, thanks to faster broadband speeds, better CODECs, a wider choice of services, and now because MXN10 brings our acclaimed StreamMagic streaming platform within reach of many more people.
We developed StreamMagic at our HQ in London for no-compromise, rock-solid, hi-fi music streaming that’s intuitive to use.
MXN10 runs off our latest StreamMagic Gen 4 module and software.
It’s a system that plays music with incredible clarity – up to 768KHz, 32bit PCM and DSD512. CAMBRIDGE-AUDIO-MXN10-Network-Player-fig

STREAMING SERVICES ARE BUI LT IN
MXN10 can access free and subscription hi-res streaming services. Internet radio, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz and Deezer are all built-in for best sound quality.
With Apple Airplay2 and Chromecast also built-in, you can access Apple Music & BBC Sounds, plus hundreds more. MXN10 is also Roon Ready, so you can enjoy your digital music listening, regard-less of source, in a single magazine- style service.

DISCOVER INTERNET RADIO
It’s just like radio, only it comes over the internet rather than by air- waves. You can listen to your existing favourite broadcast stations, specialist internet only ones (like Soho Radio and NTS), alongside many more from around the world – all free. Who knows what that indie show from New Zealand has instore for you? Plus, many stations are at a quality way beyond digital radio.

Simple to Set Up, Simple to Own

MXN10 has access to so many features and services that it needs to be simple to use in order to fit in with our busy and demanding lifestyles. Thankfully, our StreamMagic app allows full control of all connected sources. Curate playlists, set presets or browse albums conveniently from your mobile or tablet.

SPACE SAVING DESIGN
With the petite MXN10 you can hear your music in incredible hi-res quality, and have no worries about where to squeeze another box-set in.

LOTS OF PL AYBACK OPT IONS
If a friend pops round, who doesnâ€™t have the StreamMagic app, they can share their latest tunes with you, via Bluetooth.
Alternatively, if they have some exclusive hi-res FLAC files on USB stick, you can listen together on your hi-fi system simply by plugging the drive into MXN10â€™s rear USB port
And because MXN10 outputs from its digital and analogue outputs simultaneously, your hi-fi stack can now play nicely with a multiroom system too!

ALWAYS UP TO DATE
MXN10 shares our signature house style of Lunar Grey with a minimalist aluminium fascia.
At 215mm wide this half- size cabinet matches our DacMagic200 and Alva Duo, it offers flexibility of placement and breathes new life into any hi-fi set-up.
Thanks to over-air updates, MXN10 will be streaming for many years to come . CAMBRIDGE-AUDIO-MXN10-Network-Player-fig 6

FRANCESCO BET TUCCI
Senior electronics engineer

“We made the MXN10 to breathe new life into an old hi-fi system. It’s clear listeners are looking for streaming solutions, but in many cases don’t want to give up on their prized set-ups. MXN10’s small and headless design means that you can slot it into your system easily. Tuck it away or give it centre stage. The choice is yours.”
