Product Description: 

Cambridge Audio’s expert engineers took the renowned ESS Reference DAC from the acclaimed CXN100 and refined it to new levels of performance by meticulously tuning the signal path. Every ounce of potential has been extracted, ensuring the DAC delivers peak audio quality.

In addition to the DAC upgrades, the CXN100 now features HDMI eARC for seamless connection to a TV, and Bluetooth aptX HD for high-resolution wireless streaming from devices like Cambridge Audio’s Alva turntables. A larger, 25% increase in color display size further enhances the user experience.

All of this cutting-edge technology is housed in a newly designed premium chassis, featuring thicker casework, a milled aluminum front panel, and a beautifully knurled control knob, combining both superior functionality and modern aesthetics.

Sound That’s Made by Music

Since the introduction of the groundbreaking P40 amplifier in 1968, Cambridge Audio has been committed to crafting innovative, transparent-sounding, and beautifully engineered British audio products. Like all Cambridge designs, the EXN100 has been meticulously created, tuned, and engineered at their London-based music venue and headquarters, Melomania.

At the heart of the EXN100 is the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC, capable of handling PCM digital signals up to 32-bit 768kHz and DSD 512. This ensures exceptional precision, dynamic range, and ultra-low distortion.

Significant improvements have been made to the post-DAC analogue stage to fully harness the DAC's potential. Carefully selected components enhance clarity and sound separation, delivering outstanding audio performance.

Better Connected than Ever

The EXN100 is built on the 4th generation of Cambridge Audio’s industry-leading StreamMagic platform, offering seamless and stable streaming across a wide range of services and formats. StreamMagic supports direct streaming from Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Deezer, Qobuz, Roon Ready, UPnP, and Internet Radio, all with hi-res audio capabilities over Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or USB Audio. Since Cambridge Audio owns and continuously develops the StreamMagic platform, new features and services are regularly added to enhance functionality and keep it up to date.

The EXN100 offers unparalleled digital connectivity, allowing users to connect devices via USB, Coaxial, TOSLINK, or wirelessly through Chromecast, AirPlay 2, and Bluetooth aptX HD—perfect for high-resolution wireless streaming from an Alva turntable. The addition of HDMI eARC makes it easy to connect your TV and experience immersive sound for your favorite shows, movies, games, and more.

For multiroom audio, the EXN100 is fully compatible with Google Home, Apple AirPlay, and Roon systems, enabling music to be shared across devices throughout the home. Analogue output options include stereo RCA sockets or balanced XLR connections for the highest quality audio transmission.

Fully Under Control

Like all Cambridge Audio music streamers, the EXN100 is fully controlled via the StreamMagic app, providing intuitive and convenient operation from the comfort of your chair. It can also be operated using the new EX Series system remote, which is included with the EXA100. For those who need a separate remote, it can be purchased directly from cambridgeaudio.com.

The EXN100’s front panel features a stunning high-resolution 1280x720 color screen, offering a 25% increase in both size and resolution compared to the CXN100. This larger display ensures that album artwork is easily visible and crystal clear, even from across the room, enhancing the overall listening experience.

The Perfect Partner

The EXN100 serves as a versatile streaming addition to any audio system, thanks to its extensive array of connections and the broad compatibility provided by the StreamMagic platform. By activating the EXN100’s Preamp Mode, users can transform it into a digital control hub, allowing for volume adjustments via the StreamMagic app, the EX remote control, or the front-mounted rotary dial.

In Preamp Mode, the EXN100 is also the perfect companion for the new EXA100 stereo integrated amplifier, which features a dedicated Power Amp Mode to bypass its own preamp section. Together, they deliver an impressive combination of intelligent control and robust amplification, creating a seamless synergy that enhances the listening experience.
