Manufacture Description
Making The Best Better.
How do you take an admired and successful integrated amplifier, one that’s won respect and plaudits around the world, and make it even better? Well, if you’re a Cambridge Audio engineer, you examine every aspect of the performance - and then you do everything you can to make it ‘more’. More refined, more precise, more engrossing… more musical. CXA81: it’s everything you loved about CXA80, but more so.
Uncompromised And Uncompromising.
All the research, all the development, all the time and effort that’s been expended on CXA81 has been for one reason alone: to make this the most accomplished and absorbing integrated amplifier ever offered at the best value. Every component selected, and every engineering decision taken, is based entirely on the desire to progress. CXA81 has been designed and specified without compromise, in order to deliver the complete musical picture.
The Whole Story.
CXA81 is designed to bring your music to life, no matter how it’s stored. So it features an entirely new digital board, including the cutting-edge ESS Sabre ES9016 digital-to-analogue convertor. Which means digital audio files up to a heady 32bit/384kHz, or DSD256, are brought dramatically to life, with every detail and nuance delivered intact and in full. CXA81 combines unparalleled accuracy with vivid musicality, without sacrificing convenience.
Power And Control.
Thanks to numerous improvements and upgrades - and thanks to an overspecified toroidal transformer - the CXA81 delivers a prodigious 80 watts of power per channel. This means the CXA81 has complete authority over even the most demanding speakers, it means big dynamic shifts in music are handled with total control, and it means the whole musical picture is available no matter if you’re playing at discreet background levels or at party-time volumes.
