Cambridge Audio Minx Xi Review: Give All Your Digital Audio A Big Upgrade – For A Price

UK-based Cambridge Audio has long made very well-regarded high-end audio equipment, but recently that's a market that has changed considerably, thanks to the advent of digital audio and online streaming services

Excellent sound ; DAC works wonders for Bluetooth or when connected via optical to a Mac

Wi-Fi but no AirPlay support

The Cambridge Minx Xi isn’t an impulse purchase for most at £600 ($899 MSRP in the U.S.), but it’s a big step up in terms of the audio quality not only for Internet radio and service streams, and also for connected computers and devices. The service...

Cambridge Audio Minx Xi review

Best music system £400-£800, Awards 2015. Overall this is a terrific streaming system. It's more than good enough to give Marantz's Melody Media M-CR610 a real fright when it comes to sound

Great sound ; strong dynamics ; aptX Bluetooth ability ; Strong on-board DAC

Doesn’t play files over 24-bit/96kHz ; The control app could be better

Sounds great for the money ; Feature packed – you can play most things through the Xi ; A well-built and stylish little unit

It won’t play high-res tracks above 24-bit/96kHz ; Could do with its own music apps

A superb streaming system that offers excellent sound quality at a bargain price

Cambridge Audio Minx Xi review

(Rating Hidden)

The Minx Xi is somewhat of an oddity when it comes to micro hi-fi systems - lacking a CD player, it is honed toward the modern wireless world. The CD player is not sorely missed as this mini system packs in Bluetooth, wi-fi, internet radio and music...
