Putting sound first At the heart of this Cambridge network player is a highly renowned DAC (Digital to Analogue Convertor). The ESS ES9028Q2M Sabre32 device is compatible with top Hi-Res Audio files, ensuring that you hear every element of the music’s dynamics. It also features incredibly low distortion, further reducing background noise and letting you hear detail that might previously have been missed.
Compatible with top quality Hi-Res music files The CXN100 SE offers a wide range of Hi-Res music file compatibility. The DAC and software facilitates file streaming to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512. This means that you get access to the highest quality recordings possible.
Better sound for your TV – via HDMI eARC New to the CXN100 SE edition, you’ll now find an HDMI eARC socket. Although it might not look much, this small addition transforms your TV’s sound. By connecting to it, your TV now benefits from the streamer’s premium DAC, ensuring enhanced sound quality from everything you watch. As an eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel) socket, ease of use is ensured, letting you continue to use your TV’s remote control for volume, amongst other features.
Sophisticated new style For a limited time, the CXN100 SE is available in an all-new black finish. Rather than Cambridge Audio’s Lunar Grey, the front panel is anodised in matte black, with discreet gloss black branding for a sophisticated style. As well as making the ideal match for other black Cambridge Audio CX-series products, the colourway blends well with other hi-fi brands, making it ideal for using in a multi-brand hi-fi separates system.

Alternatively, for a quick and easy solution, you can pair with the built-in Bluetooth receiver.
Radio made Hi-Res Thanks to its MPEG-DASH support and, of course, the top quality audio electronics, Internet Radio sounds better than ever. What’s more, the vast choice of radio stations and podcasts, worldwide, leaves traditional FM and DAB radio floundering to compete. Simply select your choice of station via the StreamMagic app and enjoy radio at its very best.
Multiroom support, including Roon The CXN100 SE effortlessly integrates into a wide range of multiroom systems. Compatible with Google Home and Apple AirPlay, it comfortably sits within a Google or Apple system. The player is also Roon Ready. This ensures that it can be incorporated into a mixed-manufacturer, Hi-Res, multiroom music system via Roon’s award-winning platform.
Wide range of input connectivity As well as the HDMI eARC socket, the CXN100 SE has a wide range of other inputs, letting you make use of its premium quality DAC with other sources, too. The Type-B asynchronous USB input gives the best possible connection to your PC or Mac. There’s also a Type-A USB interface for local media devices. You can also boost the sound from your compatible games console, CD player, or other device, via the digital optical and coaxial inputs.
Built-in digital pre-amp - just add active speakers If you're seeking quality hi-fi from a minimal system, then the built-in digital pre-amp will appeal. Simply add active speakers via the digital or analogue outputs and you'll be able to control the volume and balance via the CXN100 SE.
XLR Balanced connections for studio-quality link When it comes to connecting up, the CXN100 SE is in the pro league. The highlight is the fitment of XLR balanced sockets. When used with a compatible amplifier, such as the matching Cambridge Audio CXA81, these connections give the ultimate analogue link possible, with greatly improved resistance to interference. Other outputs include RCA phono, digital optical and coaxial, giving this network player universal appeal.
Top quality style and finish The distinctive teardrop profile gives the CXN100 SE a contemporary look and makes it the ideal partner for the Black Edition CXA81 MKII amp and CXC CD transport. 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.
For a network music streamer that has the potential to transform your entire system’s sound quality, connect with the Cambridge Audio CXN100 SE.
