Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10

Perception of sound is, as always, subjective. However, to describe the sound from the Wiim, particularly the Wiim Pro Plus, as "muffled" is something with which I will respectfully disagree. The Wiim Pro Plus has comparably high SINAD and THD measurements similar to those of the Chord Qutest, Benchmark DAC3, and RME ADI-2 from its analog output section.

That said, the Wiim is a "weird" music player in the sense that one needs to turn on the EQ to achieve a dynamic, engaging sound. You might want to try its "Loudness" EQ, which is designed to mimic the equalized loudness contour (ELC) or Fletcher-Munson curve, to see how it performs.

I have always experienced muffled sound quality from the WIM system. I’ve used a couple different models. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong!

I have heard that when using the room correction and perhaps Bluetooth.

Yes! That is exactly what I bought it for, Bluetooth. Everything else I handle directly with my DAC. But my DAC does not have Bluetooth. I am really disappointed at the quality of the Bluetooth.

Unless you don’t have an iPhone or iPad, AirPlay generally offers better sound quality than Bluetooth. Even if you don’t use Apple devices, why use Bluetooth when Wi-Fi is an option? I haven’t used Bluetooth with my setup, so I haven’t encountered the muffled sound issue people mention. Also, RC isn’t really my preference after multiple trials in different listening spaces around my house. I stick to GEQ with some tweaks. I haven’t noticed any 'muffled' sound from my Wiim Pro+ but will report if I encounter it in the future.
