Downloading and implementing the update can be started either via the StreamMagic app or directly on the respective network streamer.Ĭambridge Audio also recently announced the second generation of the in-ear headphones "Melomania 1". The CXR120 and CXR200 AV receivers will receive an update for Tidal Connect in April.
Cambridge audio tidal connect software#
The Tidal Connect functionality is available immediately to users of the network streamers Edge NQ, Azur 851N, CXN, CXN (V2) and StreamMagic 6 (V2) via a free software update (an active Tidal subscription is required). I do have it Ethernet wired though.With Tidal Connect, the respective network player/streamer can be selected and controlled directly in the Tidal app as an output. No freezing, loss of app control, drop out, lag, whatever. Either way this is the only streamer I've used that I didn't encounter some type of issue, big or small. Sometimes I use the Magic app for internet radio and Tidal, sometimes I just use the Tidal connect app. Well I wish it had USB output but when I ordered it I didn't think I'd be using any digital outs. As far as the unit itself and the Stream Magic app I have no complaints. I initially purchased it to use it's analog outs but I've been having issues with a tube pre build so only been using the Cambridge coax out into the RME. I still haven't listened to it using it's internal dac so I can't comment on it's sound quality. No headaches what so ever with this 's like it's not even there, just responds to whatever I'm doing on my phone. I never have to turn the unit on or off, it senses when a signal is being sent to it and goes into standby shortly after I'm done with it. Mostly using Tidal but no lag or problems using Sirius radio or YouTube from my phone to the Cambridge. I'll spend some time with the app and unit and give some feedback and pics after a couple days with it.Ĭlick to expand.So I've been using the smaller Cambridge streamer for about a month now. Packaging and box is very nice, gave me that hi-end feeling lol. Has a little weight considering the size. You should be able to walk up to it, press a button, and instantly get one of your favorite playlists running. Those 4 buttons on the front are supposed to be for saved playlists. Too early to tell but it seems strong and promising. I'm hoping Cambridge improved upon what was already a decent app in my opinion. I would have ranked the Cambridge app behind the Node's and WiiM's.but definitely better than the Arcam, Zen, and B&W's home apps in my opinion. In the past in my home I've had the original Node, a WiiM, Zen Stream, the Cambridge CXN2, the B&W Formation streamer, and Arcam SA30's internal streamer. It is definitely workable though in my opinion.and without a bunch of lag.
It seems like they changed or improved it.or maybe I just don't completely remember how it was. I had a CXN2 for a little while about a year ago so I'm kinda familiar with their app. The CastMagic app has a good layout and is pretty quick to respond.unlike some other streaming apps. I believe the 10 has an internal Dac, i'll try it out this weekend. Super simple quick install.I Ethernet cabled into the back of the unit and I'm going to hook up the wifi/Chromecast in just a minute. I literally just hooked it (listened to 3 tracks thru Tidal) up then stepped outside for a smoke. I popped in to ASR to see if there was any data or feedback on the unit. I just got the smaller MXN10 delivered to the house.
