Product Gallery
Product Overview
Cambridge Audio Evo 75 is one of the two all-in-one music players (essentially stereo network streamer) introduced by the storied English firm in 2021. Using Hypex NCore Class D amplification, the Evo 75 is able to deliver a high level of power in a small chassis.
The Evo 75 comes in a timeless design with two finishes that echo the 1970s. Meanwhile, it manages to be modern and minimalist with a large dual-concentric rotary dial and a large 6.8-inch color LCD display.
Power-wise, the Evo 75 delivers 75W per channel into 8ohms from a chassis of just one-foot by one-foot. In terms of DAC, the Evo 75 sports an ESS Sabre DAC that supports up to 32-bit 384kHz high-res audio via USB.
Connectivity-wise, the Evo 75 packs not only optical, coaxial, and USB ports but also ARC (via HDMI), Bluetooth, and WiFi.
