Revision #8796 If you have trouble connecting the AXN10 to your network, these steps may help to resolve the problem: Ensure that both of the supplied Wi-Fi antennas are securely connected. Confirm that a connected computer can access the Internet (i.e. can browse the web) using the same network. If you have an encrypted Wi-Fi network, check that you have entered the correct key or passphrase. Remember that text-format keys are case-sensitive. If your AXN10 can connect to the network successfully but is unable to play particular Internet Radio stations, it may be due to one of the following causes: The station is not broadcasting at this time of the day (remember it may be located in a different time zone). The station has reached the maximum allowed number of simultaneous listeners. The station is not broadcasting anymore. The Internet connection between the server (often located in a different country) and you is too slow. If you have trouble connecting the StreamMagic app to the AXN10, these steps may help to resolve the problem: Ensure that both of the supplied Wi-Fi antennas are securely connected. Ensure that your mobile device and the AXN10 are connected to the same network. Ensure that you have allowed the StreamMagic app to have access to devices on your network, via your mobile devices' app settings. Check whether any VPN or Anti-Virus app downloaded on to your mobile device may be preventing the StreamMagic app from 'seeing' the AXN. If you have problems with UPnP playback check the following: Ensure your chosen UPnP server software is capable of serving the file type you are trying to access. Some servers do not serve FLAC for instance. The AXN can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played by the AXN. Some servers may be able to authorise and de-crypt Microsoft PlaysForSure before then serving the content to the AXN, but this operation is not guaranteed as it is purely a function of the server. If attempting to play 24-bit WAV or FLAC content a wired Ethernet connection is normally required for reliable operation due to bandwidth considerations. Check that the AXN is capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access. If you have problems with USB Media playback check the following: Check that the AXN is capable of playing back the file type you are trying to access. For USB Media, the AXN can only play non DRM files. Files that have DRM controls cannot be played. Check that your device does not require more than 1A if it is powered from the USB socket itself. Check your device format is supported by the AXN. The way you organise your USB media affects how efficiently the AXN can browse the content. A good practice is to create folders for Artists within which you should have subfolders for each Album which then contain the tracks for that Album. Libraries with thousands of tracks in one folder will progressively slow down the AXN's media browsing. There is no power: Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on. Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor.25 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Last updated: février 2, 2023 03:33. Revision #8799 Can the AXN10 support MQA content? Although the AXN can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the AXN does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files. There are no plans to integrate MQA support into the AXN, as this would require a hardware modification to install a Full MQA Decoder. How do I set up my AXN10 with a DacMagic 200M for MQA passthrough? Although the AXN can receive MQA encoded content, it is not possible for the device to playback full MQA files via TIDAL Connect, because the AXN does not have an MQA decoder built in to unfold the MQA files. It is, however, possible to bypass the DAC in the AXN, and have the MQA file processed by an external DAC that supports MQA, such as the DacMagic 200M. This will allow the full unfold of the MQA file to take place in the DacMagic 200M, and you will still be able to control and queue your MQA files via the AXN. Please follow the below instructions on how to how to set this up: 1. Connect either of the Digital Outputs (SP/DIF Coaxial or Toslink Optical) of the AXN to the corresponding DacMagic 200M Digital Input (D1 or D2).

2. Connect the Balanced or Unbalanced Output of DacMagic 200M to your amplifier.

3. Select the relevant D1/D2 Input on your DacMagic 200M.

4. Open the TIDAL app 'Settings' on your smartphone or tablet, and confirm that the streaming quality is set to ‘Master’.

5. Select the AXN within the TIDAL Connect menu as your output device.

6. Processing of the MQA files will now be passed through to the DacMagic 200M, and MQA playback should be indicated on the DacMagic 200M by the relevant LED light. Can I use more than one of the AXN10’s outputs at once? If you wish to connect the AXN to one single device, you can use any output, digital or analogue, that you wish. If, however, you would like to connect the AXN to more than one device at a time, you can connect up to three devices and play simultaneously, as all outputs remain active at all times. Please note, however, that as the AXN does not contain a volume control, you will need to ensure that the devices connected to the player have their own volume control. How do I stop the AXN10 from powering down when not in use? The AXN will automatically switch to standby mode after 20 minutes of inactivity. This Automatic Power-Down (APD) feature can be disabled, by navigating to the device settings within the StreamMagic app. You can either disable this feature, or edit the length of time it takes for APD to be triggered, by selecting ‘Automatic Power-Down’.26 Can I play files from a connected USB HD when the AXN10 is not connected to a network? This is not possible as the use of the StreamMagic app is required to be able to play local files from a connected USB HD. Please note that it is strongly recommended that the AXN is connected to a network at all times. What is the Service port on the back of the AXN10 for? The service port on the back of the AXN is intended for servicing use only by Cambridge Audio authorised service centres and dealers. Please do not connect any devices to the service port, as this may result in damage to the unit. Do I need to connect both Antennas for the AXN10 to work? Yes, if you are connecting your AXN to your network wirelessly, you will need to connect both of the supplied antennas to enable full Wi-Fi functionality and the strongest possible wireless network connection. Bluetooth functionality will also only be possible when one of the antennas is connected to the port with the Bluetooth symbol. Does the AXN10 have pre-amp or volume control? The AXN does not have a ‘pre-amp’ mode and it is not possible to control the volume of the unit, as it outputs a fixed volume level. You will need to control the volume of the AXN via your connected amplifier or DAC. Does the AXN10 have a remote control? The AXN does not have a remote control. The unit can be controlled and the settings can be adjusted via the StreamMagic app.
