Cambridge Audio EVO 300 Streaming Integrated Amplifier

Description

The new Cambridge Audio Evo 300 is the most powerful Evo yet, with 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Featuring a balanced pre-amp, dual mono design and ESS Sabre DAC, the new flagship is also focused on sound quality more than ever. Cambridge Audio’s renowned StreamMagic platform makes streaming a seamless experience, while the wide-ranging connectivity lets you link with everything from a TV to a turntable.

Beneath its newly expanded casing sits a powerful amp. At the heart of the Evo 300 lies a mighty Hypex NCOREx Class D amplifier with an effortless 300 watts per channel on tap. As the most powerful Evo to date, you get to enjoy deep bass, an immersive soundstage and sound that remains unruffled – even at higher volumes. Ideal for using with less efficient speakers and/or in larger rooms, if you enjoy the ultimate in control, the Evo 300 is for you.

It’s not just the ultimate power that impresses with the Evo 300, it’s the quality too. Dual-mono amplification means that left and right channels are separately powered, delivering improved separation between the musicians and a broader stage. The Evo 300 also features a balanced pre-amplifier stage with dedicated high precision analogue volume controls for each channel. This preserves stereo focus, dynamic range and low-level detail at every volume setting.

Based around Cambridge Audio’s award-winning StreamMagic platform, the Evo 300 delivers a seamless streaming experience. With support for Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz Connect and Internet radio, there’s a vast array of music streaming options to choose from*. For the most revealing sound, StreamMagic works with Hi-Res music files. The StreamMagic system also works alongside AirPlay 2 and Google Home, giving you further system control options.

Two-way Bluetooth lets you pair your smartphone, tablet, laptop or other device and stream in high quality aptX HD Bluetooth. It also lets you receive a Bluetooth signal back to your Bluetooth headphones – giving you a completely wireless listening experience.

Featuring an HDMI eARC interface, the Evo 300 makes the perfect audio upgrade for your TV. The connection ensures simple control use and, once paired with your speakers of choice, soundbar-trouncing audio quality.

A wide range of digital inputs lets you connect all your home entertainment. For the best in Hi-Res music, connect your home computer or laptop via the asynchronous USB-B input. Compatible with Hi-Res audio, this is the best way to enjoy the highest quality music files. Other digital inputs include optical and coaxial connections. Use these for connecting your games console, set-top TV box and more.

With its Moving Magnet (MM) turntable input, the Evo 300 is all set for connecting to most turntables. The high quality, built-in phono pre-amp delivers a detailed, low distortion sound that brings the joy of listening to vinyl to life. If you need to locate a turntable at the other side of the room, then why not pair with a Cambridge Audio Alva ST turntable and enjoy wireless connectivity, via Bluetooth aptX HD.

For the best in studio-grade connectivity, the Evo 300 is fitted with balanced XLR inputs. These link to premium quality CD players, phono pre-amps, mixers and more, giving the purest link possible. For other analogue sources, there are also two conventional RCA AUX inputs.

As a Roon Ready device, you can use the Evo 300 within a multi-brand, multiroom, Hi-Res audio system. With two pairs of speaker outputs, the Evo 300 delivers sound in two rooms, or switchable sound within a larger space, further adding to its versatility. For seamless multiroom integration, there are RS232/trigger sockets.

Everything about the Evo 300’s design demonstrates obsessive attention to detail. From the dual concentric volume/input selector to the larger, 7.8 inch display, the Evo 300 is a joy to operate. The sleek, customisable finish means the system stands out from the crowd. Choose between wood or black corrugated side panels (both included) for the look you prefer.
