Product Overview

Cambridge Audio Evo 150 is the more powerful of the two all-in-one music players launched at the same time. Compared to the cheaper Evo 75, the Evo 150 doubles the power output, upgrades the DAC, and introduces a number of extra connectivity options, including XLR and phono stage.
The Evo 150 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.
Using Hypex NCore Class D amplification, the Evo 150 is able to deliver 150W per channel into 8ohms from a chassis of just one-foot by one-foot. Its DAC is upgraded from ESS Sabre ES9016K2M to ES9018K2M, though the max resolution remains 32bit 384kHz via USB Audio Class 2.
Connectivity-wise, the Evo 150 packs dual optical, coaxial, and USB ports as well as ARC (via HDMI), Bluetooth, and WiFi. It also adds a moving magnet phono stage and balanced XLR connectivity.
With the pair of music players, Cambridge Audio also introduced a matching CD transport, Evo CD, and bookshelf speakers, Evo S.
