Cambridge Audio has announced that its acclaimed CXN100 network music streamer will receive the same retro-cool digital VU meter update that its Evo streaming amplifiers got in May. The update gives users the choice to switch between viewing the VU meters, an easy-to-read digital clock, or to showcase the current album artwork while playing.
The CXN100 is the updated and redesigned version of Cambridge’s acclaimed CXN V2 network streamer that allows you to bring high-quality digital music from all your streaming services, local music files, and internet radio stations to your existing hi-fi system. It features a redesigned digital-to-analog-converter (DAC) capable of handling 32-bit/768kHz, faster, more precise and streamlined processing, built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and all-new tuning by the company’s “engineering magicians.”
The OTA update is available now for CXN100 and all Evo models.
In addition to the CXN100, Cambridge Audio has also announced that the Evo 75, Evo 150, and Evo 150 DeLorean Edition all-in-one integrated amplifier/network players will also receive the digital VU meter update. These award-winning players feature 75 watts and 150 watts per channel of power, respectively, as well as a best-in-class DAC and the ESS SABRE ES9018k2m Reference DAC. They also have a built-in moving magnet phono input for connecting a turntable.
The digital VU meter update is a great addition to the CXN100 and Evo players. It gives users a more retro and visually appealing way to monitor their music playback.
