Watt with real power behind it

The heart of the CXA61 is its Class A/B amplifier with optimized capacitance values. It combines the musicality of Class A technology with the efficiency of Class B, and at the same time the short signal path leads to the least possible interference. The result is a detailed sound that conveys the emotional depth the artist has put into the recording. With its toroidal transformer, the CXA61 delivers 2 x 60 watts, which is more than enough for the vast majority of speakers. The special volume control is designed to minimize interference, resulting in an amplifier that has loads of power and is ready to explore the potential of your speakers. Absolutely no stress or distortion.

A DAC with details and finesse

To ensure the maximum music experience regardless of the source, the CXA61 has a digital board with the acclaimed ESS Saber ES9010 K2M digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The CXA61 can bring digital audio files to life in high resolution up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256 – a combination of convenience and performance that will surprise in this price range.

An amplifier with lots of connection options

The CXA61 is a versatile amplifier with a wealth of connectivity options. In addition to digital optical and coaxial connections, it has plenty of stereo analogue inputs as well as hi-res wireless connection via Bluetooth aptX HD – perfect for sources such as an Alva ST turntable. You can even connect an extra set of speakers and share your music experience with another room.

A minimalist and timeless design

Cambridge Audio has dedicated their team in London to create the CXA61 as a complete solution. Its versatility and high performance means it can be the heart of your music system for many years. The CXA61's elegant and minimalist design is made of aluminum and steel, which both ensures that the amplifier is durable and aesthetically pleasing.
