WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUNDThe compact disc format has been around long enough to include an enormous catalogue of music of all types, and to have become very affordable. Even the most evangelical devotee of music streaming will concede there’s plenty of life in the little silver disc yet. The CXC will let you extract every last drop of musical enjoyment from your CD collection. |
BE TRANSPORTEDThere’s absolute purity of purpose to the CXC. It’s built to read the digital audio information on a CD with absolute, unerring accuracy, and then pass it on to a digital-to-analogue convertor (such as the extremely high-quality DACs found in Cambridge’s outstanding new CXA61 and CXA81 integrated amplifiers). Every CXC component is focused only on extracting every iota of information from the disc in its tray. |
BE TRANSPORTEDThe disc drive in the CXC was originally developed by Cambridge Audio for its high-end 851C CD player. It’s our renowned ‘S3’ servo design, and it has class-leading levels of jitter rejection and error correction - no multi-purpose drive is able to compete with the the CXC’s levels of precision and stability. |

In any case, I went ahead and pulled the trigger and I could not be happier with the choice. Before the purchase, I had listened to the same music through multiple sources (ALAC files on MacBook Pro via Bluetooth, USB and optical Toslink, CD played on Oppo BDP-103 via optical input). They all sounded very good. Perhaps the weakest sounding was the CD via Oppo player, which worried me a little: was I was wasting my time buying a CD transport if the ALAC files sounded better?
The sound is pretty spectacular. The audio is pure, balanced, and energetic without being overly bright. Separation is significantly better than any other source I have tried. Bass is full and not muddy in any way. Detail is remarkable. I'm hearing things I had no idea were on discs I've owned for years. I can hear Mitsuko Uchida's breathing in between Beethoven piano sonatas and mumblings between band members on several Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers tracks. I'm listening to a wide variety of music including Beethoven, Steely Dan, Diana Krall, Supertramp, Pink Floyd, Deadmau5 and Miles Davis, and they all sound great. So from a sonic standpoint, I am very happy with this device.
The one downside I see is something that Health Nut mentioned. The CD tray looks / feels flimsy compared to the rest of the body of the transport (which is heavy, well-built and substantial). The display is also rather primitive. These two issues really bothered me the first few days I owned the CXC, but the only really relevant question is how does it sound. The Rega Apollo R looks pretty abominable, but few people dislike it as a CD player. So, for this reason, I still gave this CD transport 5 stars. Hope this review is helpful.
I plan on replacing my receiver with a true integrated stereo amp. The Cambridge CXC will work with any DAC and nearly every integrated amp on the market has a DAC built in. Since the DAC failed on my old CD player, I went with a dedicated transport.
Pros: Compared to my 30 year old CD player, the CXC has a bigger soundstage. The music is more relaxed with a higher dynamic range. I was impressed with the sound quality. It is not fatiguing like my old CD player.
Cons: The CXC will not play scratched CD's. They have to be perfect. Nearly all of my CDs are in good shape but because of this I cannot give the unit 5 stars. There are more forgiving CD players on the market for the same price. However, they may not sound as good.
