Cambridge Audio Evo 300

Overview

The Cambridge Audio Evo 300 is a premium streaming integrated amplifier built around a dual-mono Class-D Hypex NCOREx output stage delivering 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, rising to 550 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It combines high-resolution network streaming, a reference ESS Sabre DAC and comprehensive connectivity in a single compact unit.

Why This Model Matters

Evo 300 is the flagship of the Evo streaming-amplifier line. Its dual-mono NCOREx amplification and ES9038Q2M DAC push resolution and power well beyond the 150 SE, while StreamMagic Gen 4, HDMI eARC and a moving-magnet phono stage make it a complete system hub. The finish is black, with the same customisable side-panel design that defines the Evo range.
