CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CXN (V2)

What Hi-Fi Sound and Vision India

|

June 2022

To improve on something that’s already pretty good, sometimes all you need is a light touch. That’s what Cambridge Audio did with the second iteration of its CXN streamer – an update to the Award-winner we reviewed in 2015.

CAMBRIDGE AUDIO CXN (V2)

Alongside Tidal built-in and Spotify Connect, you can also stream music via Google’s Chromecast, on this, the Cambridge Audio CXN (V2).

We play Landslide by Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie Nicks’ soulful, sweet singing is full-bodied and beautifully conveyed. The way she shifts between notes is smooth, and the occasional words clipped to keep her rhythm are snappy and insightful. Even the odd vocalisation – the hums and aahs – are detailed and full of melancholy musings.

Most half-decent streamers could reproduce the basics of this song, but it takes something more talented to dig into the emotional core of this track and deliver it generously – and that’s what this Cambridge does.

Highs and lows in harmony

With something more bouncy and upbeat, such as Warren Zevon’s Werewolves Of London, the CXN delivers both a punchy bass and a tinkling treble simultaneously. A good streamer, tackling those few opening bars, needs to balance both the deep drum and the piano – which the CXN (V2) does impressively. The bottom end is weighty, but lithe enough to give you a good kick, while the piano is light and airy without being overly bright. The timing is tight too, and gets your foot tapping almost as soon as the song starts.

We move on to Childish Gambino’s

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?
