Key to the audiophile performance offered by the CXC CD transport is our S3 servo solution. The vast majority of optical drives in use today are designed with computers in mind. While they can read all manner of disc media, they lack the precision and finesse of a dedicated audio drive. To address this, we have written our own software to precisely control the driveʼs laser and motor assembly.

 

SIMPLIFYING THE SIGNAL PATH

The CXC is simplicity itself to setup and use, because we handle digital to analogue conversion in our amplifiers. Thereʼs a good reason behind this philosophy. Maintaining the audio signal in the digital domain for as long as possible minimises potential analogue signal degradation. Our CXC transport has one job to do and it does it very well indeed.

 

Our proprietary Cambridge S3 servo solution effectively turns a universal disc drive into a dedicated CD spinner; it can calibrate and monitor the speed of the disc, holding it steady and constant. By managing where the laser head is and what itʼs reading, as well as maximising error correction, we can get the maximum amount of clean data off the disc as possible, with the minimum jitter.

BUILT TO LAST

The CXC utilises a low-resonance acoustically damped metal chassis, with an ultra-clean low noise power supply. Beneath the hood, our PCB design employs double-sided surface mount technology, which eliminates wire links and ensures an ultra short signal path, thereby reducing signal deterioration.

C-BUS POWER SYNCING

Cambridge C-BUS connection means that one remote can be used to power on and off both CXC and CXA in sync.

Open Horizons World of Streaming

Thanks to the integrated Wi-Fi wireless technology, DNP-730AE is connected to the Internet via your home network, opening the horizons of a world of Internet radio stations music as pay Spotify streaming service through the latest Spotify Connect scene. With AirPlay, you can enjoy your favorite tunes wirelessly from your portable iOS device, including iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. Certification DLNA 1.5 allows you to connect a PC or Mac through your home network, wired or wireless, for additional features streaming.

High sound quality

Denon engineers use strict accuracy tests for selecting suitable exarimaton for high sound quality of DNP-730AE. It features a high-precision 32-bit, 192-kHz D / A converter PCM1795 of Burr Brown, used in top-class of CD Players Denon. The converter that allows you to enjoy the finest details of music with startling clarity, including acoustic resonances of concert halls. The signal paths are extremely simple and straight to ensure pure sound reproduction. The minimization of signals paths prevents signal degradation between circuits. Features limiter deformations, which ensures even more precise reproduction of pure sound.

Catholic play digital music files

The DNP-730AE can play almost any available digital audio formats from USB memory or via network connection. The list of types Included here lossy file formats MP3, WMA and AAC, but also lossless format, including ALAC, AIFF, WAV and FLAC HD (up to 24 bit, 192 kHz). Still, the DNP-730AE can even play DSD files (analysis 2.8MHz and 5.6MHz) in DLNA streaming. The DSD is becoming increasingly popular of music lovers around the world. There is also a play without spaces DSD files, WAV, FLAC, AIFF and ALAC.

Broaden the horizons of your HiFi audio system Network

The DNP-730AE is an ideal addition to the famous Stereo Enichyti PMA-720AE and CD Player DCD-720AE of Denon. At the same time, it can extend opoiodiote existing Hi-Fi sound system to bring to light the network strength. Easily connects Hi-Fi environment friendliness of Spotify Connect, the Web Radio and other existing streaming formats.

Total ease

Connect iPod, Apple iPod touch to the DNP-730AE via the convenient USB port on the front panel and listen to your favorite music while charging your device. The large screen OLED 3-line ensures clean and wide-angle viewing. The Denon Hi-Fi Remote App lets you easily control all options of DNP-730AE, and available for Apple devices and Android. You can also check specific amplifiers or CD Players Denon's through DNP, using the App.

MANUAL

The CXN is our fastest, slickest network player yet, and this is helped by the processing power of our bespoke new Cambridge Connect app. The app, which offers a new menu system plus a more graphical and intuitive interface, locates uPnP servers on your network, makes sense of the folder structure and lists content metadata, all without skipping a beat.

 

 

The CXN also supports C-BUS control, allowing power and volume to be controlled via the Cambridge Connect app. The CXN can be employed as a digital pre-amplifier, with volume control performed by the Sharc DSP; for maximum quality, this resamples at every volume step. Thereʼs also asychronous USB (24-bit/192kHz resolution) with DSD64 playback support. Using the app to find the track you want to play, not the player, results in a faster, more satisfying user experience. We believe this switcheroo is ingenious. Before, our streaming module would have to go find the uPnP servers and serve up the file structure back to the app - a relatively slow process. In the CXN ecosystem, your smartphone or tablet app handles all the browsing, searching and finding.

 

Naturally file playback support is wide, with all popular codecs and wrappers supported, including WAV, FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, MP3, HE AAC and AAC+ OGG Vorbis. UPnP media playback is joined by AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Internet radio.

Built to sound better

Just as with other components in the CX series, the CXN features a low-resonance, acoustically dampened chassis, allied to a high quality power supply - and for the first time on a Cambridge network player, thereʼs also a high resolution, full colour TFT display, which compliments the browsing experience on the Cambridge Connect app.

 

Unleashing Zander

With the CXN, weʼve been able to unlock more of our extremely powerful Zander audio streaming module. Incredibly, itʼs currently utilising only about 20 per cent of its potential. Expect firmware updates to unlock more features and functionality over time.

Dual Differential DACs

The two Wolfson WM8740 DACs within the CXN are used in a dual differential mode. Put simply, this means we use one stereo DAC per channel. Not only does this give us terrific stereo separation, but also enables us to multiply up and convert at 24-bit 384kHz (2 x192Khz) per channel. Why do we use Wolfson WM8740 DACs? Because they sound great, of course!

Adaptive Time Filtering upsampling

The CXN employs Cambridge Audioʼs proprietary 2nd Generation Adaptive Time Filtering (ATF2) upsampling technology, which is implemented in the CXNʼs Analog Devices Sharc DSP. Traditionally, upsampling algortithms consider two bits of data then draw a line between; our ATF technology considers both the data and its overall shape, then interpolates where itʼll best fit the waveform. We believe this is a more accurate, realistic way of handling audio upsampling, and results in a more convincing soundstage.

Bespoke Bluetooth

If you want to use the CXN with a Bluetooth source, we offer an optional BT100 audio receiver.

 

From the ground up, this is an audiophile Bluetooth device. All the coding for the BT100, from the XMOS interface to the aptX implementation, is done in-house. We even include an extension cable which enables you get the best Bluetooth range.
