Cambridge MXN10
What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision India
|May 2025
Small, affordable and... superb
-

Size really isn't everything. Whether it's a pair of speakers, a dinky DAC or even a portable Bluetooth speaker, there is absolutely no guarantee that size in any way correlates with great sound. Big and bulky units certainly have their place, and the trend towards more size equalling more sound is pretty inescapable, but that doesn't necessarily mean improvements in actual audio quality. In reality, the finest brands in the business often know how to get a lot out of a little.
That's just as well, because this affordable Cambridge Audio network music streamer is something of a tiddler. Neat, compact and easy to pop onto your hi-fi rack without needing three burly men and a new extension to install, the new Cambridge Audio MXN10 is one of the most unobtrusive network players you'll find, not to mention one of the least expensive. If this little thing has the sonic chops that belie its size and price, its rivals should be quaking in their figurative boots.

The MXN10 is a tiny little operator; a far smaller, narrower design than its larger counterparts such as the more traditionally sized Audiolab 7000N and even the fairly compact Bluesound Node (2024). Finished in smooth, inoffensive lunar grey, the MXN10 features four preset buttons on the right accompanied by a clearly demarcated power button and a small white light to tell you whether or not you are currently connected to the wi-fi. Clean, clear and simple are the watchwords here.

Pro-Ject nails the affordable Bluetooth turntable recipe
There are some combinations that work beautifully, even if you wouldn't necessarily consider putting them together in the first place. Beans on toast is an odd combination when you think about it, as is surf and turf, while carrots in a cake has no right to be as good as it is. Mixing poached eggs with smoked salmon is essentially combining poultry and fish, but no one complains when a bougie brunch spot has Eggs Royale on the menu, do they?
