Cambridge CXC Transport Unboxing

Designed specifically to do one thing only. The CXC spins CDs and retrieves the audio data with perfect precision so you can hear things that you’ve never heard before in tracks you’ve heard 100 times. And thanks to its all-digital outputs it works in perfect harmony with our CXA60 and CXA80 integrated amplifiers.
At the heart of the CXC is our legendary ‘S3’ servo design. Designed for efficient recovery of CD digital data with state of the art error correction it’s been engineered to play audio CDs brilliantly. Multi-purpose drives simply can’t compete. The design was actually developed for our flagship 851C CD player, giving minimal disc jitter and excellent error correction for the most precise and accurate playback of CDs.
With no digital to analogue conversion in the CXC, when used in conjunction with the CX Series amplifiers it outputs the CD signal in digital form, relying on the high quality Wolfson DAC in the CXA amplifier for the crucial digital to analogue conversion stages. The result is layers of detail and clarity from your disc collection that you’ve never heard before.
The CX range was designed to look as stylish on the outside as it is well engineered on the inside. The brushed finish is as clean as the CX’s sound, and the “floating” effect gives each unit the opportunity to stand out. On their own, they’re striking but stacked, they’re beautiful.
