Cambridge Audio, the renowned British brand known for its high-quality audio products, has presented a significant update for its popular AXN10 and MXN10 network players. The company has responded to customer feedback and introduced app volume control to both devices, granting users greater convenience and control over their audio playback.
The AXN10 and MXN10 network players have garnered widespread acclaim since their launch in February, offering outstanding performance and access to an array of streaming services, including Spotify Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, Roon, Chromecast, TIDAL, Qobuz, and more.
Cambridge Audio's investment in research and development within the streaming technology space has led to the creation of multiple award-winning products like the CXN V2 network player and Evo all-in-one systems.
One of the main challenges faced by the high-end audio market has been accessibility, with many consumers content with their smartphones serving as their primary network players, especially when using Bluetooth speakers.
However, for those seeking a comprehensive audio experience with lossless playback and support for multiple platforms, dedicated network players like the AXN10 and MXN10 offer more satisfactory performance.
The latest firmware update, accessible through the StreamMagic app, introduces pre-amp functionality, enabling users to control the volume directly from the app. This addition grants users more flexibility in managing their audio settings, as they can still adjust the volume from within their preferred streaming service's app or through the physical controls on their amplifier or wireless speakers.
In addition to the app volume control feature, the software update enhances the StreamMagic app with new browsing functions, including 'Go to Album' and 'Go to Artist.' These browsing options streamline the navigation process, making it easier for users to explore their favorite albums and artists seamlessly.
Furthermore, the "Now Playing" screen in the StreamMagic app has received modifications, providing users with more options for favoriting tracks and adding them to personalized playlists, improving the overall music discovery experience.
The AXN10 and MXN10 network players, priced at $599 and $499 respectively, are now even more compelling options for audio enthusiasts seeking top-tier performance and versatile streaming capabilities.
