What’s better than using StreamMagic by Cambridge Audio? Well, try it on a big screen, on your PC or Mac, with BlueStacks to see the difference.
StreamMagic feels like the remote control Cambridge Audio streamers deserve, without the fuss. It opens fast, finds the gear on the home network, and keeps the useful stuff right up front so there is less digging through menus. On a PC with BlueStacks, the bigger screen and keyboard make a difference. Scrolling long artist lists is smoother, and typing searches for albums or stations is not a chore.
Everything centers on playing music without getting in the way. It pulls from a USB drive, a NAS, or services like TIDAL, Qobuz, and Deezer. A queue can mix tracks from different places, then be saved as a preset for next time. The Hub tab quietly learns what gets used most and shows shortcuts for those inputs, playlists, or stations, which feels helpful rather than bossy.
People with more than one Cambridge Audio box will like that it swaps between them cleanly. Moving from a CXN or CXN100 to an MXN10 in the office or an Evo in the living room is quick, with per room volume and source control. Internet radio is handled well too. Search by station or genre, save favorites from local news to a late night jazz station on the other side of the world, and jump back in a second.
There are useful setup bits baked in. Rename a unit, set volume limits, pick a standby mode, and adjust other small behaviors. Features do vary by model, including older ones like 851N or StreamMagic 6 v2, and there is no Zone 2 support.
BlueStacks brings your apps to life on a bigger screen—seamless and straightforward.
