Review: Excellent build quality and sound - CD transport used with DACMagic 100 for CD reading and playback. Replacing a Marantz 6007 CD player, it’s a definite step up in sound and build quality. Detailed treble and midrange, deep bass, realistic wide soundstage, refined, neutral. Fast CD loading, track search, start/stop. The grey colour is nice but I prefer black. Minuses: remote control is a universal for all the CX range so most buttons are not relevant. CD functions from the remote are adequate but some may find lacking. NB: This is a CD transport ONLY meaning it has to be played through an external, separate DAC. The point of this is for better sound quality than a combined “CD player”, and custom tailoring of sound. Recommended at £449. It might be the last CD player you buy.
Review: Replaced my Marantz 6005 cd player - Switched to Cambridge Audio from Marantz. I have a 6005 amplifier and cd player. Don't get me wrong Marantz sound is good but wanted Cambridge Audio for a long time and I have no regrets. The Cambridge CXA 81 sound stage is fantastic and of course I wanted to match it with CXC cd transport...perfect match! Very happy with the Cambridge sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have the cambridge audio axr100. i wonder if anybody else has this or heard it with the cxc also will the remote operate both units**
A: If the axr100 has an onboard DAC it should work.  I have a CXA61 amp with a CXC and one remote works both.

**Q: Can you connect this cd player to sonas 1 speakers**
A: The player is just a (very good) transport. It needs a dac and amplifier. So the answer is no, not easily

**Q: does it play the audio track of dvd**
A: It only plays audio CDs. It’s a CD transport only so you need an external dac for CD playback. Hope this helps.

**Q: So I simply connect this to my dac via optical, then rca from dac to amp right?**
A: Hi, yes connecting the CXC to a DAC via Optical or Coaxial, and then connecting your DAC to an amp via RCA will work well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It plays CDs. And looks great too
*by A***T on 11 January 2021*

Bought with the matching amp. Expensive and I don't know if I could tell the difference in sound quality from any other player. But it got a great review in What Hi Fi so I trust them. The remotes on both units are identical and you can use 1 remote for both. Very high quality finish and looks great. You can skip tracks but that is all, no track detail. Connection is optical digital only. Personally, I would have looked for a cheaper / more functional unit if I had not got the matching amp. But combined, I am very happy with them.
