The Cambridge Audio EXN100 is a network audio streamer and the streaming brains of the EX Series. Built around an ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC and the 4th-generation StreamMagic platform, it handles PCM up to 32-bit/768kHz and DSD512, feeding a retuned analogue output stage with hand-picked components. A 4.76-inch IPS colour display shows album art, VU meters or a clock.
Why This Model Matters
The EXN100 refines the acclaimed CXN100 with a larger, higher-resolution screen, added HDMI eARC, Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and thicker premium casework with a milled aluminium front panel. StreamMagic Gen 4 - the same module used in the award-winning Evo players - delivers a stable, well-supported streaming experience that Cambridge continues to develop in-house.
