At £100, this Cambridge Audio STREAM MAGIC 6 is a strong bargain, landing well below the 25th percentile of £150 and the median of £178 from your recent GBP comparables. Even the lowest external listing we see sits at £129.99, making this £100 asking price a clear outlier in favor of the buyer and an excellent entry point into high-quality network streaming.
The STREAM MAGIC 6 remains well-regarded for its flexibility, functioning as a network player, standalone DAC, and digital preamp with hi-res support up to 24-bit/96kHz (or 192kHz via USB). It upsamples internally to 384kHz and includes aptX Bluetooth, making it a versatile hub for both local files and streaming services. At this price, it’s a buying opportunity for anyone wanting proven sound quality and connectivity without the premium of newer models, especially if the unit is in clean, original-owner condition.

Cambridge Audio emerged from the innovative spirit of 1960s Britain, founded in Cambridge, United Kingdom, by a group of young engineers who spun off from Cambridge Consulting Group. Established in 1968, the brand launched with the groundbreaking P40 integrated amplifier—the first to employ a toroidal transformer, setting a new standard for dynamic power delivery in hi-fi design that endures in high-end gear today. This heritage of British engineering excellence propelled decades of award-winning products, navigating ownership changes including a revival under entrepreneur Vince Adams and acquisition in 1994 by Julian Richer and James Johnson-Flint of Richer Sounds.
The brand excels across core hi-fi categories, renowned for integrated amplifiers like the iconic A1 and P-series, alongside streaming DACs, network players, turntables, and all-in-one systems that prioritize pure analogue warmth and digital precision. Speakers, headphones, and cables round out a cohesive ecosystem, emphasizing accessible high performance without excess frills.
Positioned firmly in the mid-tier market, Cambridge Audio delivers premium British sound—detailed, rhythmic, and uncolored—at prices that democratize quality for discerning buyers. Free from corporate bloat, it holds a reputation for reliability and value, appealing to enthusiasts seeking sophisticated hi-fi that punches above its weight rather than chasing ultra-high-end esoterica.
