Cambridge Audio CX Series 2

CXN V2 Network Audio Streamer Digital audio is available from many sources - and the CXN (V2) is capable of delivering from those you love most. Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Qobuz and Tidal offer a world of content, Chromecast is built-in to make it even easier, and the CXN (V2) is Roon Ready to also enrich the experience of browsing your NAS and UPnP audio. Add digital optical and coaxial inputs, an asynchronous USB connection, aptX Bluetooth (via adapter) and internet radio, and the CXN (V2) brings all the music on the planet to your home. CXC CD player The CXC has one absolutely pure goal. It is built to read the digital audio information on a CD with absolute accuracy and then pass it on to a digital-to-analogue converter (such as the extremely high-quality DACs in Cambridge's outstanding new CXA61 and CXA81 integrated amplifiers). Every CXC component is solely focused on extracting every fraction of information from the disc in the tray. CXA81 Integrated amplifier The CXA81 is designed to bring your music to life, regardless of how it is stored. It therefore features a completely new digital board, including the advanced ESS Sabre ES9016 digital-to-analogue converter. This means that digital audio files up to an impressive 32bit/384kHz, or DSD256, are brought to life spectacularly, with every detail and nuance reproduced intact and fully. The CXA81 combines unrivalled accuracy with vibrant musicality, without compromising on ease of use. Thanks to numerous improvements and upgrades - and thanks to an overspecified toroidal transformer - the CXA81 delivers an impressive 80 watts of power per channel. This means that the CXA81 has full control over even the most demanding speakers, it means that large dynamic shifts in the music are kept completely under control and that the entire musical picture is available, whether you are playing at a discreet background level or at a high festive volume.
