Cambridge Audio designed the Edge NQ to serve as the absolute nerve center of a high-end audio system, and it delivers on that promise with stunning tonal neutrality and an incredibly low floor noise (THD<0.0008%). By implementing a unique DC-coupled topology that completely replaces conventional capacitors, Cambridge ensures your digital and analog signals remain entirely uncolored. Coupled with a solid-state volume control, you get perfect channel balance even at whisper-quiet late-night listening levels.

This particular unit is an immaculate showroom demo. It has been meticulously cared for in a controlled environment and looks and operates like new. It ships in its original factory packaging with the complete suite of original accessories.

Connectivity & Versatility

Whether you are streaming high-resolution files or connecting physical source components, the Edge NQ handles it seamlessly:

Digital & Analog Inputs: Features HDMI ARC for seamless TV integration, USB Class 2.0 (supporting up to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and native DSD256), TOSLINK, Coaxial, and balanced XLR inputs.

Streamer Architecture: Powered by Cambridge’s proprietary in-house module, natively supporting Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, and Roon Ready architecture.

Fixed Line-Out Mode: If you prefer to use your own analog preamp, you can easily disable the internal preamplifier stage via the Edge iOS/Android app, transforming the unit into a dedicated standalone network DAC.
