Just add speakers and your preferred sources to create a complete high performance audio system.

Power and Control Beyond the Evo 150 SE

The Evo 300 sits above the Evo 150 SE in Cambridge Audio's lineup and represents a significant step forward in amplifier architecture. While the Evo 150 SE is an outstanding streaming amplifier, the Evo 300 introduces a dual mono design, a balanced preamplifier stage, dedicated analog volume control architecture, and substantially higher output capability. These enhancements are intended not only to increase power but also to improve channel separation, stereo imaging, dynamic contrast, and low level detail retrieval.

This additional capability becomes especially valuable when driving larger floorstanding loudspeakers or filling larger listening spaces. The result is greater effortlessness during demanding musical passages and improved control over bass reproduction without sacrificing refinement or transparency.

Advanced Amplification and Signal Path Design

At the heart of the Evo 300 are Hypex NCOREx amplification modules delivering 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 550 watts per channel into 4 ohms. This architecture combines efficiency with exceptional control and low distortion. The amplifier remains stable and composed even when driving difficult speaker loads, making it an excellent partner for a broad range of modern loudspeakers.

The internal signal path has been carefully engineered around a dual mono layout. Each channel benefits from dedicated amplification resources that help preserve stereo separation and imaging precision. Combined with the balanced preamplifier stage and precision analog volume control system, the Evo 300 is designed to maintain musical detail and spatial accuracy across the entire volume range.

High Resolution Streaming and Digital Performance

Digital playback is handled by the ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M digital to analog converter. This premium DAC supports PCM playback up to 32 bit 768 kHz as well as DSD512, allowing the Evo 300 to accommodate virtually any high resolution music library.

Cambridge Audio's StreamMagic Gen 4 platform provides access to Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Deezer, Amazon Music, Internet Radio, Roon, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built in functionality, and UPnP playback from local servers. The result is a flexible streaming platform that works seamlessly with modern music services while maintaining audiophile performance standards.

Built for Vinyl, Television, and Modern Living

The Evo 300 is more than a music streamer. It is designed to serve as the hub for an entire entertainment system. A built in moving magnet phono stage allows direct connection of compatible turntables without requiring an external phono preamplifier. Television integration is handled through HDMI eARC, providing a clean and convenient solution for combining high performance stereo sound with modern television systems.

Additional connectivity includes balanced XLR inputs, RCA analog inputs, optical and coaxial digital inputs, USB audio connectivity, Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX HD support, headphone output, preamplifier output, subwoofer output, and support for dual speaker zones. This flexibility allows the Evo 300 to adapt to a wide variety of listening environments and system configurations.

Designed for Long Term Ownership

The Evo 300 combines advanced engineering with a timeless industrial design. A large 7.8 inch front panel display presents album artwork, system information, and visual playback options. Interchangeable side panels allow owners to customize the appearance to better suit their listening space and décor.

As listening habits evolve, the Evo 300 remains flexible through its extensive connectivity and software platform. Whether used as a dedicated two channel music system, a television audio solution, a streaming hub, or the centerpiece of a larger custom installation, it is designed to remain relevant and capable for years to come.

FAQ

Does the Evo 300 include a phono preamp?

Yes. The Evo 300 includes a built in moving magnet phono stage that allows compatible turntables to connect directly without requiring a separate phono preamplifier. This simplifies system setup and reduces component count. If your turntable uses a moving magnet cartridge, you can connect it directly and begin listening immediately. Users with moving coil cartridges will typically require an external phono stage designed specifically for moving coil operation.

Does the Evo 300 include a cartridge or turntable?

No. The Evo 300 is a streaming amplifier and does not include a turntable or cartridge. It provides the phono input needed to connect a compatible turntable, but the source component must be purchased separately. Many customers pair the Evo 300 with premium Audio Technica, Cambridge Audio, and other audiophile turntables depending on their goals and budget.

How does the Evo 300 compare to the Evo 150 SE?

The Evo 300 sits above the Evo 150 SE in Cambridge Audio's product range. It offers significantly greater power output, a dual mono amplifier topology, a balanced preamplifier section, upgraded internal architecture, and a larger display. The result is greater speaker driving capability, improved channel separation, and increased dynamic authority. For demanding speakers and larger rooms, the Evo 300 is the stronger choice.

Can I connect my television to the Evo 300?

Yes. The Evo 300 includes HDMI eARC connectivity for modern televisions. This allows television audio to pass directly into the amplifier using a single cable while enabling convenient volume control integration. For customers seeking both exceptional music playback and premium television sound, this is one of the most valuable features of the platform.

What speakers work best with the Evo 300?

The Evo 300 is capable of driving a wide range of loudspeakers due to its substantial power output and current capability. It performs exceptionally well with premium bookshelf speakers, floorstanding speakers, and many demanding audiophile designs. Because it delivers 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, it provides significant flexibility in speaker selection. At All Elite Audio, we can help identify the ideal match for your room and listening preferences.

Does the Evo 300 support high resolution audio files?

Yes. The ESS Sabre ES9038Q2M DAC supports PCM playback up to 32 bit 768 kHz and DSD512 playback. This exceeds the requirements of virtually all commercially available high resolution music formats. Whether you stream high resolution content or maintain a local digital library, the Evo 300 is designed to handle advanced audio formats without limitation.

Can I use a subwoofer with the Evo 300?

Yes. The Evo 300 includes a dedicated subwoofer output and advanced bass management functions. Users can adjust subwoofer integration settings through the StreamMagic platform for improved blending with main speakers. This capability is especially beneficial in larger rooms or systems where extended low frequency performance is desired.

What streaming services are supported?

The Evo 300 supports Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Amazon Music, Deezer, Internet Radio, AirPlay 2, Chromecast built in functionality, and Roon Ready operation. This broad compatibility allows users to choose the ecosystem and streaming service that best fits their listening habits. It also helps ensure long term usability as streaming preferences evolve.

What else do I need to make the Evo 300 work?

At a minimum, you will need a pair of passive speakers and speaker cables. If you plan to stream music, you will also need a network connection through Ethernet or WiFi infrastructure. Additional sources such as a turntable, television, music server, or CD transport can be connected depending on your listening goals. The Evo 300 is designed to serve as the central hub of an entire audio system.
