BEST STREAMER $1000-$2000
“The Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 V2 is as captivating as ever, with its new functionality making it an even better proposition than before.” – What Hi-Fi!
IMPROVEMENTS ON THE ORIGINAL
Thanks to the new processor architecture, the Stream Magic 6 V2 is more than four times more powerful than the Stream Magic 6 original and over twice as fast, delivering smoother, lower jitter playback of your music. This extra processing power also means that the Stream Magic 6 V2 can play everything from compressed MP3 formats, up to 24-bit/192kHz studio master quality files wirelessly over your home network, or from connected USB hard drives.
ALL THE POWER OF SPOTIFY, BUILT-IN
Spotify is the world’s most popular streaming service, and we are proud to announce that Spotify Connect is now integrated with the Stream Magic 6 V2.
If you subscribe to Spotify Premium, you can control the Stream Magic 6 V2 with the powerful Spotify Connect app on your phone or tablet. And because Spotify is built-in, you can still take calls or use other apps – the music never stops.
CONNECTING YOUR DIGITAL MUSIC AND HI-FI SYTEM
Wherever your digital audio comes from, whatever format you store it in, the Stream Magic 6 V2 network music player makes it sound amazing!
From smartphones/tablets and laptops, to Blu-ray players, TVs and games consoles, and with support for audio streaming services including BBC iPlayer, Aupeo, and Pandora plus access to over 20,000+ Internet radio stations – the Stream Magic 6 V2 doesn’t just stream audio on to your hi-fi amp and speakers, but dramatically improves it as it does – bringing out the ultimate in detail, clarity and quality from your digital audio.
By using our unique digital signal processor (DSP) in combination with our adaptive time filtering (ATF2) upsampling process, all your audio is now upsampled to a high quality 24-bit/192kHz output. Find out more about this impressive technology in the video opposite.
UPSAMPLING AUDIO MAGIC
Everything that passes through the Stream Magic 6 V2 is upsampled, using our unique ATF2 (Adaptive Time Filtering) process, developed in conjunction with Anagram Technologies of Switzerland, through a high-end Analog Devices DSP (Digital Signal Processor), to ultra-high detail 24-bit 384kHz output.
As well as dragging extra detail from every source (even CD, Blu-ray and “Lossless” digital files), ATF2 virtually eliminates “jitter” common in playing digital audio files – which can lead to a flatter, lifeless sound with tinnier bass response. Those problems vanish when digital audio’s put through Stream Magic 6 V2.

SOUNDS AMAZING WITH….
Led Zeppelin II (Deluxe Edition)
The 2014 remastering of Led Zepplin’s second album sounds incredible on the Stream Magic 6 and is available in hi-res 24bit/96kHz. The original was recorded in 1969 and this remastering gives it a fresh breath of clarity and detail. Our favorite track is Ramble On; melodic, lyrical genius with an awesome guitar lick.
Cambridge Audio - AZUR851E
FLAGSHIP PREAMPLIFIER
The pre-amp stage is all about minimal colouration. Take the source signal and pass it onto the power amp stage with as little interference as possible. That’s exactly what the 851E does, and coupled with its solid-state volume control, it retains audio signal purity and precision even at the lowest listening levels.
The toroidal transformer helps, as does our insistence on using only audiophile-grade components; many hours of fine tuning also play their part. The 851E has a broad range of connection options, including three switchable between unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR, the later ideal for high-end sources. Traditional sources get six RCA unbalanced inputs, plus there’s a dedicated sub woofer output and two sets of speaker terminals.
The 851E is designed as the partner to the 851W and to this end it has control bus connections for power syncing, as well as a Terrapin impedance buffering module for seamless switching between sources. The result is a combination that’s comfortably the most musically thrilling we’ve ever made: detailed, powerful, nuanced.
