I’ve had an Eversolo A6 Master, a 3D Lab Transport Signature, the little Cambridge Audio MXN10, a Raspberry Pi 5 running Moode, and I can say that Cambridge Audio has done something excellent with this EXN100. The audio section is outstanding, the streaming functions are likewise, provided that your NAS supports the UPnP/DLNA protocol, because Cambridge streamers do not access NAS drives directly via file sharing. There are loads of radio stations and the features are well thought out. It loses 1 star because:
1) the remote control is impossible to get. Controlling it via smartphones is not as intuitive or as straightforward.
2) the StreamMagic app is great but could be improved: no Mute function, managing radio stations is very cumbersome, etc.
3) the brightness adjustment of the Streamer screen is not linear, there are only 3 modes: off, low, and high.
In conclusion, for streaming this is the best I’ve found with the EXN100. I use it connected to high‑end preamp/headphones, which drive a power amp that in turn drives a pair of PMC Twenty5 23i speakers. The sound is a delight. I use it every day and all day long, that’s the advantage of being retired.
Enjoy the music...

1) la télécommande est impossible à avoir. La télécommande via les smartphones c'est pas aussi intuitif ni aussi directe.
2) l'application StreamMagic est super mais perfectible: absence de la fonction Mute, classement des radios très lourde, etc...
3) la variation de l'éclairage de l'écran du Streamer n'est pas linéaire, il n'y que 3 modes éteint, faible et fort.
En conclusion, pour streamer c'est ce que j'ai trouvé de mieux avec l'lEXN100. Je l'utilise Branché sur des préamp/casque haut de gamme, qui commandent un ampli de puissance qui commande une paire d'enceintes PMC Twenty5 23i. Le son est un délice. Je l'utilise toute les jours et toute la journée, c'est l'avantage d'être à la retraite.
Bonnes musiques...
