Cambridge Audio CXA80 – 80-Watt Integrated Amplifier, with built in DAC (Black)

The development of the CX series amplifiers was a work of passion. They are the product of a team committed to bringing every detail and joy into music of all kinds. These amplifiers will give you new sound dimension. The CXA80 must be heard to be believed. With 80 watts per channel and its class A / B typology, it brings out every detail in your music. Separate dual-mono windings on a Low Flux? Ring transformer further enhance its performance, and together, these design details combine incredible control over your speakers, creating a captivating, broad, and spatial soundscape. To help you delve deeper into your favourite music, the CXA80 has been redesigned from the ground up and equipped with a built-in digital-to-analogue converter. With Wolfson's high-quality 24-bit / 192 kHz WM8740 DAC chip, the CXA80 is a powerful upgrade for all your digital sound sources. And since we designed it for digital use, it's equipped with dual optical, a coaxial digital input and an asynchronous USB port, so you can play your music directly from your PC or Mac. If you add the optional BT100 Bluetooth adapter, you can stream aptX signals directly from your smartphone or tablet, giving you access to music from Spotify, YouTube, and many other services. Analogue sound sources can also be integrated via the balanced XLR connectors, the RCA inputs as well as the front 3.5 mm jack input. In use, the CXA80 is a real pleasure. The floating chassis, brushed finish, and easy-to-read front panel all add up to an amp whose exterior is as imposing as its interior. No matter from which source, the CXA80 will be yours.
