Go Big on Sound, Convenience, and Control: Cambridge Audio Evo 300 All-in-One Streaming Amplifier Outputs 300Wpc, Drives Speakers with Authority, Features ESS SABRE ES9038K2M DAC, Built-In MM Phonostage, Bass Management, and More
Unleash the full potential from hard-to-drive speakers and enjoy superior convenience with the Cambridge Audio Evo 300 streaming amplifier. Devised as an "all-in-one" solution for listeners with large speakers and big rooms, Evo 300 sails through complex passages and preserves clarity, details, composure, and separation even when music turns complex. Its hearty 300Wpc output results in commanding headroom, immersive dimensionality, and focused imaging. And its integrated bass management, involving software-controlled subwoofer crossover and level adjustment from the Cambridge app, means your sub can seamlessly slide into the mix.
Anchored by a specially tuned Class D Hypex NCOREx module exclusively developed in conjunction with Cambridge’s London offices and high-grade components in the op-amps that result in an exceptionally low noise floor, Evo 300 delivers tightly controlled, wonderfully precise fidelity from a variety of sources — including built-in streaming — while fitting like a proverbial glove into most spaces.
A generous slate of digital and analog inputs — not to mention a premium ESS SABRE ES9038K2M DAC, OPA1612 op-amps, and four-layer PCB for reduced signal interference — means Evo 300 can confidently pilot your system. The onboard StreamMagic Gen4 platform means you have instant access to TIDAL, Spotify, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, Internet Radio, and more. You can opt to wirelessly experience your preferred content in high-definition via Wi-Fi or aptX HD Bluetooth. And since Evo 300 performs remote updates, you’re always ready to roll with the latest tech.
Dual speaker zones, multi-room potential via Google Cast, Apple AirPlay2, and a seven-band EQ add to its flexibility. Ditto the ability to hook up sources like a CD player, turntable, TV, and more. In total, Evo 300 boasts one pair of RCA and one pair of XLR inputs; an HDMI eARC input; one Toslink, S/PDIF, Bluetooth, USB, and USB-B input each; and Bluetooth with aptX and aptX HD codecs. A 3.5mm headphone output, preamp output, subwoofer output, and trigger input/pass-through round out the connectivity.
Weighing 15.87 pounds and measuring 3.54 x 15.2 x 12.48 inches (HWD), Evo 300 can be easily moved. Visually, you can choose between real wood and industrial side panels, which attach magnetically and invite you to swap them out when the mood strikes. A remote control, expansive color display with optional virtual VU meters, and dual-concentric volume knob provide further evidence Evo 300 covers all the bases in its effort to sway you with stellar sonics and ease of use.
