Cambridge Audio Azur 851N Now Roon Ready
Cambridge Audio’s Azur 851N network audio player is now Roon Ready.
The addition of Roon Ready integration expands upon the wealth of options already offered by the £1,399 851N streamer.
Following the Roon Ready updates for the Edge NQ and CXN (V2), a software update is now available for the 851N featuring Roon Ready. Once the product is updated, Roon will discover it on your network. From then, you will be presented with the highest possible quality audio, and be able to control the volume right from the Roon user interface.
Roon Ready certification means the 851N network audio streamer now discovers and connects to Roon without any additional configuration. Roon is a powerful interface not least as it aggregates all your digital files, whether stored on NAS or accessed via Tidal or Qobuz, all in one place. Furthermore, this makes searching for tracks and albums much more manageable.
All tracks are played on the 851N are put through Cambridge Audio’s 2nd generation Adaptive Time Filtering that upsamples everything to 24bit/384kHz hi-res quality, no matter the original source. As a result, jitter is almost entirely absent, giving your music the quality it deserves.

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.
