I just watched your review and for me who has been thinking of replacing CXA81+CXN V2 with EVO 150 for some time, your explanation is very useful and thank you for that. Apart from the very beautiful modern appearance and many abilities, I I read many reviews and Bench Tests about this product and they all emphasized on the high quality and ability of this product. The point that was mentioned in these reviews, apart from its very low noise and distortion, is the good damping factor of this device. 250 value for EVO vs 100 for CXA81. What I learned is that the higher the value of this factor, the greater the ability to run larger speakers, speakers with higher power or lower efficiency. It provides better and easier. The only thing that I would have liked to change in this device was the upgrade of the DAC to a higher model in DeLorean Edition. I hope you keep this device as a reference.

I got the same setup and considering switching to decrease the number of items, plus I could use an HDMI input. Did you end up getting it? My concern is changing the type of sound. I do like the warm sound of the CXA amp

@@vascoernesto78 The thing that made me not change to EVO150 until now is the sound type. Recently I am researching about IOTA VX SA40. And a new DAC/Streamer

I have no issue with class D. My last 3 amps have been a Chord, BelCanto, and a Devialet expert pro 250. All wonderful and used, so I saved thousands.

Could you do a review where you compare the Evo 150 with the Nad uniti atom. I would be very grateful.

I have the cinema 70s, I find it really struggles to power my warfedale EVO 4.1’s and KEF r100s, is this a significant upgrade in 2 channel stereo sound? And I assume you still connected your sub to the 70s?

@0102studio 4 ай бұрын

I switch my sub back and forth sometimes. But mostly leave it cinnected to the 70, yes. But yes its a huge upgrade to the Cinema 70, as would any outboard amp.

Could you please explain how to integrate this product into a 5.1 Set with an AVR/Receiver? Did you connect the pre-outs L/R of the AVR to the Aux-In of this 150? And if yes, how does it turn on? Automatically or through 12V Trigger? Thx

@0102studio 4 ай бұрын

No problem, L&R preout from AvR to the aux input of the EVO 150. Then in the StreamMagic app, enable Home Theater bypass on that input. And in my setup either the Cmabridge remote or the Marantz remote powers both products on and off simultaneously, no trigger required!

I see Spotify is installed on this amp. I use KZbin music, can this music app be used instead of Spotify?

@@0102studio thanks for your comment and my apologies for the error on my part. A reputable dealer here indicated to me that the app incl parametric equalization.

@@0102studio hi .. I do not own Either evo as of yet. I am sure you are very happy with yours. Is there anything at all that you Would like Added Or improved upon mainly But not exclusively having to do with sound. Personally I have concerns about Bass Performance and as i understand a lack of sub out managment. Id really appreciate any feedback.

@0102studio 2 ай бұрын

@@mobilekaos the lack of bass management to me isn’t a dealbreaker as much, but that’s because I’m constantly switching out gear and fiddling with the cut off on the sub itself. And I tend to run all speakers full range when connected to it as it give be a better gauge of how the speaker performs in regular usage. Hope that helps somewhat. Also, the Evo technically isn’t mine, I’m expecting Cambridge to request its return at some point, but until that day arrives, woooo!
