Cambridge Audio Stream Magic 6 or CXN (Music) Hi All Looking for a CA streamer to replace my Logitech Duet. Already have a Stream Magic 6 in another system and love it, so hoping to maintain the consistency of a known working product. Stream Magic or CXN, I'd be happy with either. Priced accordingly. Please let me know if you have one available. Black or silver, I don't mind. Thanks DaveR Condition: VGC+ Payment Method: Region/State: (VIC) Victoria/Australia By Prana69 1 Comments AUD $600 Date: December 3, 20241 yr
Is A$600 a fair price for a used Cambridge Audio STREAM MAGIC 6, or are you overpaying for its legacy? Based strictly on your database of four recent AUD listings, the median market price sits at A$341, with the 75th percentile at A$368; this A$600 asking price is significantly ambitious, exceeding the top quartile by nearly A$240 and representing a steep premium over the typical used market.
The Stream Magic 6 remains well-regarded for combining a high-quality DAC, network streamer, and digital preamp into one compact unit, offering excellent sound quality and versatile connectivity for the era. However, at A$600, this listing only becomes a worthwhile buy if the unit is in pristine original-owner condition with all original accessories, cables, and perhaps an extended warranty, as the price demands near-perfect value. Without those specifics, the cost is hard to justify against the A$341 median, making it a risky purchase for a fellow enthusiast seeking fair value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
