Cambridge Audio EVO 300 Streaming Amplifier

Description Designed to let music breathe in larger listening spaces and to drive more demanding loudspeakers, Evo 300 builds on the success of the award-winning Evo 150 SE. This is the ultimate expression of Evo – delivering a clear step up in sound quality, without compromising the elegant, Red Dot Design Award-winning Evo form. With 300 watts of carefully engineered power, just add speakers and you’ll hear effortless headroom, deep control, stable imaging, strong separation and a sound that stays composed as music becomes more demanding. Power and Control At the heart of Evo 300 is a Class D amplification stage crafted around Hypex NCOREx modules, expertly tuned by Cambridge and delivering 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms. Every stage has been considered, from digital conversion and pre-amplification through to volume control and dual-mono power delivery. A dual-mono layout delivers precise stereo separation, while a balanced pre-amplifier stage and dedicated high precision analogue volume controls for each channel help preserve stereo focus, dynamic range and low-level detail at every listening level – spacious, dynamic and rhythmically engaging. A carefully specified switch-mode power supply ensures consistent performance under sustained load. The result is sound with real authority and scale, paired with the musical insight and engagement that define Cambridge Audio amplification. Digital Mastery Evo 300 brings streaming, amplification and source control together in a single, elegantly compact chassis, designed to support a wide range of listening habits without unnecessary complexity. It brings the proven streaming experience of Cambridge’s acclaimed standalone network players into a complete high-end system, pairing StreamMagic with a state-of-the-art 300W amplifier architecture. It is designed for listeners who want serious hi-fi performance without the fuss of a traditional multi-box system. Cambridge’s StreamMagic streaming platform sits at the heart of the experience, designed to get you closer to the music you love, quickly, reliably and without distraction. It supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Qobuz Roon Ready, UPnP and Internet Radio over Wi-Fi or Ethernet, all controlled through the StreamMagic app. Because StreamMagic is developed in-house, it continues to evolve, with regular updates and new features added over time. With Google Cast and Connect services, Evo 300 receives streams directly from the cloud, so your phone or tablet acts only as a controller, not the source. Digital audio is handled by the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC, supporting up to 32-bit/768kHz PCM and DSD512 – matching the highest-resolution formats used in professional recording. Evo 300 simply gets out of the way – perfectly preserving the digital signal without resampling, from source to conversion and output. Connectivity includes USB audio, optical TOSLINK, and coaxial inputs, alongside HDMI eARC for simple TV integration with high-quality two-channel sound. Wireless listening is supported via Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX HD, alongside AirPlay 2 and Google Cast. Evo 300 also integrates seamlessly with Google Home, Apple AirPlay and Roon multiroom systems, making it easy to enjoy music throughout the home. Analogue Flexibility Alongside its digital capabilities, Evo 300 offers comprehensive analogue support. For listeners who value the physical connection of a vinyl record, a built-in moving magnet phono stage allows a turntable to plug straight in, alongside RCA and balanced XLR inputs, which accommodate a wide range of additional analogue sources. System configuration is equally flexible. Evo 300 features an adjustable subwoofer output with independent level and crossover control, plus optional high pass filtering for the main speakers. There are dual speaker binding posts per channel for creating two separate speaker zones, and a dedicated 6.3mm headphone output supports high-quality personal listening. Timeless Design Evo 300 continues the Evo series’ distinctive design language: compact, confident and quietly expressive. With a wider, more substantial chassis, it has the physical presence to match its performance – designed to live in your space, not sit on a rack. Its aluminium chassis is precision-engineered and finished to a high standard, with interchangeable side panels supplied to suit a range of interiors, from natural wood to more contemporary finishes.
