Cambridge Audio - Evo 300 All-In-One Streaming Amplifier

The Cambridge Audio Evo 300 is the brand's most powerful streaming amplifier ever — 300 watts per channel of Hypex NCOREx Class D power, an ESS ES9038Q2M DAC and the StreamMagic Gen 4 platform behind a stunning 7.8-inch display.

Class D Hypex NCOREx amplification delivers 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms (550W into 4 ohms) with the control to drive demanding speakers — keeping bass tight, dynamics open and music composed. Dual-mono architecture, a balanced preamplifier and dedicated analogue volume control work together to preserve stereo focus, separation and low-level musical detail.

The ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC supports up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512, preserving the digital signal without unnecessary processing, while StreamMagic Gen 4 gives fast, stable access to Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Deezer, internet radio, Roon and more. A built-in moving magnet phono stage welcomes your turntable, HDMI ARC connects the TV, and a 7.8-inch customisable display with album art and meters — plus interchangeable side panels — makes it as beautiful as it is capable.
