Cambridge Audio Minx Xi

Advantages: Good sound for 35 thousand. Workmanship at a height. There are no settings, stuck the laces and everything. Media center in one box. There is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. You can connect a hard drive with an MP3 collection. Internet radio channels, well, a lot.

Disadvantages: Why is there 3 batteries in the remote? The remote could be smaller and easier.
The sound lacks full weight (this does not affect the quality). I just have a more powerful amplifier.

Comment: The sound still lacks low frequencies, the adjustment of low results does not. Sounds great for its price. His sound is smooth and calm. Emotionally, listening to him is very pleasant. Music plays as it should essentially play. Honest sound. Not all the headphones he reveals, but the sound is good. I played with the AC Elac FS 207 (I recommend) together with the Velodyne subwoofer. Internet radio sounds much more interesting to him than if you use an input for example.

Advantages: 1. Serious sound (on acoustics).
2. Excellent workmanship. Appearance on 5 points, will decorate any interior :)
3. Rich functionality. Omnivorous.
4. Easy to set up.
5. A huge amount of built-in music for every taste and color.
6. Steadily keeps both Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth.

Disadvantages: Not without them, unfortunately.
1. When listening through headphones (AT M50, AKG K550), the sound seems to be too monitor, boring. As a lover of colored sound, I had to twist the bass almost to the maximum. But even with this, AKG K550 did not play.
Power with a large margin, I listen to a maximum of 18-20 out of 40 possible, you can burn the headphones and stay without hearing.
2. At zero volume (Mute) in the left channel you can barely hear the music in the headphones. On the acoustics can not be heard. Not annoying, but still strange it :)
3. The interface sometimes lags. Switching between radio stations occurs with pauses somewhere in 10 seconds, for the Internet.
4. Miscalculation in management - if you go into the sound settings (Treble / Bass) while listening to music, you will not be able to go back to the playlist, you have to re-enter the required folder using the menu.
5. The sound quality when playing radio stations is certainly worse than when playing mp3 in high bitrate or especially lossless formats. Although, as is known, 95% of the townsfolk do not catch this difference :)

Comment: As UPnP North I use free foobar2000, Windows native does not distribute flags. I listen in the room 15kv.m. - Polochniki Celection (sensitivity 89 dB) + sub. This room res. he voiced with a margin, I usually listen at the level of 15 out of 40, the maximum is at 25. I am very pleased with the quality of the sound.

Advantages: plays everything

Disadvantages: amplifier control program for IOS

Comment: it works terribly with my speakers) I will look for the necessary speakers

Advantages: Miracle sound for 35 thousand. Workmanship at a height. There are no settings, stuck the laces and everything.

Disadvantages: Only in relation to the remote. Why are there 3 batteries in it? Could be 2 times smaller and much lighter.

Comment: I want to say Cambridge Audio thanks a lot. During my life I tried a lot of equipment, but I really haven’t heard such a superbly powerful and high-quality sound, not a single noise or a dirty sound. I do not yet have the opportunity to connect the classy acoustics, but I use Sennheiser HD 650 headphones with a resistance of 600 Ohms, and it's really not easy to shake them. So the amplifier did it with a large margin. Unloads huge low sounds without losing the finest details in the high and middle segment.
I strongly advise everyone, take it you will not regret!
