An elegant, timeless integrated amplifier
Cambridge Audio created the Evo 150 to be compact, convenient, and attractive — a solid central component to build your sound system around. It delivers 150 watts per channel using advanced Hypex NCore® Class D amplification — an emerging technology which rivals old-school Class A amplifiers in terms of clarity and musicality.
An audiophile-grade built-in DAC makes digital files sound exquisite. You also get Bluetooth with aptX HD for simple, high-quality music streaming from your mobile devices.
One very cool external design touch: the side panels are customizable to suit your personal style preference. A pair of wood-grained panels are included for a classic look, as are a pair of black panels with a decorative wavy pattern. They attach magnetically, so you can swap them out at will.
Easy app control
Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic app offers comprehensive control and intuitive access to your favorite streaming music over your Wi-Fi network. It's compatible with popular services like Apple's AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, and more.
Convenient connections
This amp features a wide array of digital and analog inputs — it's well-suited to serve as the centerpiece of a two-channel sound system. For instance, it features dual digital optical inputs, plus a single digital coaxial input. There's a Type-B USB input for playing high-resolution files from your computer, with switchable Class 1/Class 2 operation for compatibility with more Windows® driver setups. And there's even an HDMI port with ARC (Audio Return Channel) for connecting a compatible TV.
Analog fans have plenty of options, too. There are balanced stereo RCA and unbalanced stereo XLR inputs for connecting analog components, and a dedicated phono stage for turntables with moving magnet cartridges.
