Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10

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.

Thanx, I  think a Fosi V3 would work well with the LS-50s I have in the garage. Or maybe a pair of V3 monos. But alas, I run an older Jolida tube integrated and I just upgraded the tubes. I also run a tuner and a CD player and would need more inputs. I like the idea of your compact system, worth thinking about.

The Wiim streamer does offer some fantastic flexibility! The line-in and optical inputs make it versatile enough for adding external sources like a tuner / vinyl setup, and a CD player. The subwoofer connection is also possible through the pre-out on Fosi V3.  I think v3 could comfortably drive 85-86dB sensitivity speakers like your LS-50 or my NHT SB3. Compact systems with high versatility like this are always fun to experiment with outside my listening room.

I have always experienced muffled sound quality from the WIM system. I’ve used a couple different models. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong! I know at least one other person who has the same conclusion. Any thoughts on that?
