"If you've already got a good DAC, the Cambridge CXC transport is a no-brainer." 'What Hi-Fi? Sound & Vision magazine'. 5-star review.
Black Edition – limited edition finish
Limited to just 1000 models, the CXC Black Edition is something less run-of-mill. The sleek new style features a matte black, anodized aluminium facia with gloss black branding. As well as appealing in its own right, the CXC Black Edition makes the perfect partner for other black components you may have.
Transport-only design
The Cambridge CXC is a CD transport only, so inside you'll only find 'half' of what's usually inside a CD player. Although this may sound unconventional, it has many benefits. The most obvious of these is cost effectiveness, but there are sonic benefits to be had, too. Without an onboard DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor), the power supply only has to drive the CD transport. By being dedicated to this task it can provide a clean, stable power supply for the highest performance possible at its price.
Pair with your choice of DAC
Another advantage is increased flexibility. Chose to match with one of the Cambridge CXA digital amplifiers or use your own choice of DAC entirely. By starting with such a high quality transport design, the CXC could see you through many system and DAC upgrades without being in the least bit out of place.
S3 servo
Rather than using 'off the shelf' CD software, Cambridge uses its own S3 servo processor. Dedicated to CD music playback rather than the multi-purpose disc readers, the CXC maximises the full potential of your audio CDs. With state-of-the-art error correction your CDs simply sound more realistic, more dynamic and more detailed than with other players.
Vibration resistant casing
With rigid, metal construction and low-resonance design, the casing helps shield the player from both mechanical and electrical interference, helping to improve clarity and reduce background noise. Isolating feet help adsorb vibration for a further reduction in distortion.
Dedicated to the finest sound from CD possible, the Cambridge CXC Black Edition CD transport redefines CD playback quality at its price.

Great Product. Quality sound.
The CXC cd transport does exactly what I expected and is a perfect match to the CXA 61 amplifier. Together they provide a warm balanced output for any CD recording I feed it.

An excellent upgrade with improved sound quality
I bought the CXC to replace a rather tired Cambridge Audio Azura CD player after it recently developed a fault. I chose it to fit with my existing CXN streaming device and CXA amp, and I was not disappointed. The sound quality is a league better than my old player and has revived my interest in listening to CDs, despite the convenience of streaming over the CXN box. The price was good to, especially with the VIP member discount.

Fantastic Cambridge CXC CD Transport
The Cambridge CXC CD transport has made a noticeable improvement to the sound quality of my hifi system and listening experience. I have it paired with the Cambridge CXA61 amplifier and an external dac. Lovely clear detailed sound, nice bass control and a good detailed top end. I would certainly recommend this CD transport. It really does make me want to listen to all my CDs again. I can hear so much more detail in the music compaired to my old CD player. Great service from Richersounds.

Top quality Service
Thoroughly simple and easy process to upgrade my existing system. I have got an incredible set up thanks to Steve in the Bristol store. Nothing was too much effort. I have been a customer for years and this is one of the best experiences I have had. No need to shop anywhere else for AV products.

Great sound, not sustainable
It’s really good BUT we had an accident which caught the CD tray.
Disappointed it’s not repairable .. expensive write off, after 8 months.. poor.

The CXC in black looks as stunning as it sounds!
Such a huge improvement on my old, but very much loved, Marantz CD63SE.
I would recommend this CD transport to anyone!

Great service & brilliant kit
Purchased the CXC on line, having discussed my requirements with the helpful guys in the Guildford branch a while back. Free next day delivery by DPD. The CXC is brilliant, big improvement over my old cd player. Connected optically to the amplifier for an impressive clear sound, almost like a live show. Highly delighted.
