Cambridge Audio CXC (Black)
CD Transport
In stock
£249
Richer Sounds exclusive model.
"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. Tested at £300.
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.
Sleek style
The CXC is part of the totally redesigned CX-Series. The distinctive tear-drop profile gives the CXC a contemporary look and makes it the ideal partner for the digital amplifiers and network player. Yet it's far more than just a good-looking case - it helps the sound quality, too. 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.
Dedicated to the finest sound from CD possible, the Cambridge CXC CD transport redefines CD playback quality at its price.

Reassuringly solid build quality
Tremendous value for an excellent piece of Hifi.
Worked well straight-out-of-the box presenting the listener with a firm wide and deep listening perspective connected to my Leema Elements amplifier built in DAC. Confidently expect additional improvements as the unit burns in and would probably benefit from experimentation with different coax and Toslink digital cables. Bought to use with the wonderful Cambridge Audio 851D DAC I look forward to long-term CD listening satisfaction.

Cambridge CXC
I bought this CD transport as I sometimes feel the need to spin up an old CD or two. I was surprised at the difference from streamed audio the CXC makes through the same DAC. For me it sounds more open, spacious and detailed than my streamed audio. Works well with the DAC/amp. Got me listening to CDs again.

great piece of equipment
Quick delivery
Used with my Roksan me DAC.
Great sound. I knocked off a Star as it won't read some slightly scratched CDs. The Nad CD player it replaced could read these CDs.
