The WiiM Pro Plus is less than half the price of the budget music streamers we'd previously reviewed (see Cambridge Audio MXN10, below), and this tiny, extremely affordable unit impressed us so much that we knew it was worthy of a 2023 Award win. Read the full review: Cambridge Audio CXN (V2) Best budget music streamer It's no wonder that it retained the What Hi-Fi? Award for best music streamer priced between £750-£1000 for multiple years in a row now. So, the same winning sound quality as the original with even more features to play with. All of these can be controlled through Cambridge's Connect app for iOS and Android. It also boasts Apple AirPlay, Tidal, Spotify Connect and Roon support. It works very well - we were up and running in a matter of moments.īut that's far from the only feature available. So what sets it apart from its predecessor? The main new skill is built-in Chromecast, which lets you stream content from compatible apps. We described the original CXN as 'wonderfully entertaining', and it's heartening to see this second-generation model retaining that character. The sound quality is fantastic, with an enthusiastic, driven delivery that combines snappy timing with subtle levels of detail. But it's not just a looker - it has it where it counts, too.
