CXN100 SE as a network player for high-resolution music
The CXN100 SE is a network player designed for high-resolution music playback, comprehensive streaming, and integration into modern hi-fi and home entertainment systems. Its focus is on an improved DAC, a wide selection of streaming services, and operation that makes digital music quickly and directly accessible. This allows the device to combine high-quality audio playback with a broad functional basis for everyday music in the living room.
Streaming, multi-room, and seamless integration
The CXN100 SE supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect with MQA, Amazon Music, Qobuz, Deezer, Internet radio, Apple AirPlay 2, Chromecast Built-in, and Bluetooth aptX HD. In addition, it features Roon Ready certification, which brings music libraries together in a unified interface. For multi-room setups, the model is compatible with Google Home, Apple AirPlay, and Roon multi-room systems. This allows music to be played synchronously in multiple rooms and flexibly integrated into existing streaming environments.
ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC, HDMI eARC, and preamplifier mode
A central feature of the CXN100 SE is the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC. It is designed for particularly precise, detailed, and nuanced playback of digital music. This is complemented by the HDMI eARC port, which also allows TV audio to be integrated into the system. Thus, the CXN100 SE not only takes on the role of a music streamer but can also serve as a central interface for TV sound. A preamplifier mode can also be activated via the StreamMagic app, which transforms the device into a high-quality digital preamplifier and expands its possible applications within a system.
Operation, connectivity, and durable design
Its features include a large high-resolution color display, a tactile volume control, and support for the StreamMagic app for playback, playlists, source selection, and sound control. In terms of connections, the CXN100 SE offers USB audio, coaxial, TOSLINK, and Bluetooth aptX HD, as well as other digital inputs and outputs. The housing relies on aluminum and steel with clear, minimalist lines. Over-the-air updates ensure that the device can be kept technically up-to-date and fits into a modern music system in the long term.
