Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10

https://www.whathifi.com/advice/cambridge-audio-cxn100-vs-mxn10-what-are-the-differences-between-the-two-super-streamers

The CXN100’s sonic profile is resplendently clean and refined, boasting a soundscape that feels spacious, open and immensely detailed ... It’s also terrifically precise with the edges of notes ... the CXN100 is certainly superior in terms of detail resolution, soundstaging and tonal balance.

Switching over to the MXN10 made everything seem more compact, forceful and focused, and while there’s less overall space and insight, there was also a greater sense of robustness and fun ... The CXN100 offered more detail and textural refinement, yet the intimacy and emotional connection upon which the performance hinges was much more evident through the richer tone of the MXN10.

The MXN10 is unquestionably less spacious, less precise and less refined than its bigger brother, yet it’s just such an easy product to listen to ... the MXN10 is masterful at getting to the heart of your music’s, well, musicality.

**Winner: Draw**

*** Note: this comparison is made for strictly out of the internal DAC.

I’ve had the MXN10 for about three weeks and am considering purchasing the CXN (V2) for a comparison based on the aforementioned review. I think the MXN10 sounds better than the Wiim Pro Plus and provides a more spacious and weightier bass than the iFi Zen Stream paired with a Schiit Modius DAC (both comparisons using their internal DACs). I’m currently in the process of acquiring the well-reviewed Gustard R26 and will conduct a more thorough review of the streamer with an external DAC to satisfy my own curiosity.

I have a mxn10 digital out to Bel Canto c5i. All I can say is it is in same league as pretty much any streamer I have heard recently and I’ve heard quite a few, mostly at higher price points.

Also have a evo150 with streamer and DAC integrated. Same story. I have both systems tuned in quite well overall these days and I can strongly recommend either.  I stream almost exclusively using Roon.  

I have the CXN100 but, thinking about another streamer for the garage system. I put a Cardas Iridium cable on the CXN100 and I think that took it where I wanted it. Very happy with it overall.

You might have amp already but if you don’t and the form factor is the desire in the garage, I highly recommend this combination (Wiim Pro plus + Fosi v3) even I said mxn10 sound ’better’ than wiim. In isolation, the combo renders as wide SS, satisfactorily pleasant tonal balance and sweet sound that stands out from traditional class D. Mxn10 gives more controlled bass and noticeably better image when paired with my Parasound A23. But we are talking about 10 times price difference in amp.
