Cambridge Audio AXN10 and MXN10 Gain Pre-Amp Skills

A free firmware update adds pre-amp functionality to Cambridge Audio's AXN10 & MXN10 network players.

The AXN10 and compact MXN10 network players have proved massively popular, with the AXN10 further embellished with a StereoNET Applause Award. However, the British hi-fi brand has made them even better - at no extra cost to owners!

We're told that in response to customer feedback, Cambridge Audio has added app volume control to both players, and this is available via a free firmware update which is now available.

Once updated via the StreamMagic app, the AXN10 and MXN10 will have pre-amp functionality, allowing you to control volume from within the app. You can still adjust the volume from within your streaming service's app or via the physical controls on your amp/wireless speaker if that's your preference.

Other updates in the new software release add more functionality to the StreamMagic app, including two new browsing functions: 'Go to Album' and 'Go to Artist'. The Now Playing screen also offers more options for favouriting and adding tracks to playlists.

Cambridge Audio's AXN10 ($599 USD) and MXN10 ($499 USD) are available now.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
