With the addition of HDMI eARC\/ARC, the CXN100 SE handles TV, gaming, and movie audio through the same ESS SABRE32 DAC and balanced XLR outputs that made the original CXN100 a streaming reference. One input, one cable, and your entire system gets better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u0026gt;\n\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features of the Cambridge Audio CXN100 SE\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI eARC\/ARC Input:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accepts digital audio directly from your TV, including Dolby and PCM signals from built-in apps, Blu-ray players, and gaming consoles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 DAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reference-class digital-to-analog conversion with native support for PCM up to 32-bit\/768kHz and DSD512.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStreamMagic Gen 4 Platform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, Roon Ready, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast built-in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced XLR and RCA Outputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e True balanced analog output for noise-free connection to amplifiers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDigital Preamp Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Volume control via the front dial or StreamMagic app lets you drive a power amplifier directly without a separate preamp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.76-Inch IPS Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-resolution color screen shows album artwork, track info, and selectable VU meters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.1:\u003c\/strong\u003e SBC and AAC codec support for quick wireless playback from any phone or tablet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOver-the-Air Updates:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firmware updates keep the platform current with new features and services as they arrive.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eHDMI eARC Changes Everything\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original CXN100 was a pure music streamer. Excellent at that job, but it left TV and movie audio stranded on the soundbar or AV receiver. The SE fixes this with a single HDMI eARC\/ARC input on the rear panel. Connect your TV, and every app, console, and streaming stick feeds digital audio through the CXN100 SE's DAC and out to your stereo amplifier. No optical adapter, no extra box, no compromise. The audio quality your music gets now applies to everything you watch, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eCambridge Audio CXN100 SE Streaming and Connectivity\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fourth-generation StreamMagic platform is the foundation of the CXN100 SE's streaming capability. It supports virtually every major service natively: Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect with full MQA decoding, Qobuz, Amazon Music, Deezer, and internet radio. Roon Ready certification makes it a first-class endpoint for Roon users, while AirPlay 2 and Chromecast built-in cover wireless casting from any app. For wired sources, USB Audio 2.0 (Type B) accepts a direct computer connection, and both coaxial and optical S\/PDIF inputs handle legacy digital sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eESS SABRE32 DAC Architecture\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of the CXN100 SE sits the ESS ES9028Q2M, a SABRE32 reference DAC that handles PCM signals up to 32-bit\/768kHz and DSD up to DSD512. The conversion stage feeds both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs. Cambridge Audio chose not to include analog inputs or upsampling at the output stage. The signal path is purely digital in, analog out, with nothing added or altered along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eDesigned in London, Built to Last\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CXN100 SE was designed and tuned at Cambridge Audio's London headquarters and live music venue, Melomania. The Lunar Grey aluminum and steel chassis carries the same clean, minimalist lines that define the CX Series. A 7-band EQ is built in for room correction, and the StreamMagic app (Gen 4, iOS and Android) provides full control including input selection, volume, and library browsing. An RS232 service port supports custom integration for those who need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eExplore the Full Cambridge Audio CX Series\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/5073\/8528\/files\/cambridge-audio-cxn100-se-cx-series-lifestyle.jpg?v=1774542991\" alt=\"Cambridge Audio CXN100 SE stacked with CXA integrated amplifier in living room\" style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 938px; height: auto; margin: 0 0 15px 0;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CXN100 SE pairs naturally with the rest of the CX lineup.
