Raising the Standard
With a legacy of accolades, including What Hi-Fi? Best Buy awards, the original CXA81 integrated amplifier set a high bar. So, how do you make an award-winning amplifier even better? We caught up with our Head of Engineering, Nick Brown, to uncover the thinking and processes that went into the development of CXA81 Mk II.

CXA81 has evolved, developed, and improved as a product for many years through various models, even as far back as 650A to 651A, with an extensive redesign for CXA80. CXA81 has become a multi-award winning product, winning the What Hi-Fi? Best Buy award for four consecutive years.

At every stage in the CXA81 Mk II design process, we were aware that the CXA81 sound had been extremely well received, so we didn’t want to move too far away from this signature sound, which we believe to be fun, dynamic, engaging, and exciting. Our main goal was to add an extra level of definition to the current signature sound rather than a major deviation.

The Cambridge Audio EXA100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier, launched in October 2024 as part of the new EX Series, is a powerful and versatile hub for high-fidelity audio. Delivering 100 Watts per channel of Class AB power (into 8 Ohms), it draws on amplification technology from Cambridge Audio’s flagship Edge series for robust and refined sound.

Equipped with an ESS SABRE ES9018K2M DAC, it supports high-resolution digital audio up to 24-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256. Connectivity is extensive, featuring HDMI eARC for TV audio, USB-B for computers, multiple digital S/PDIF inputs, balanced XLR, and RCA analog inputs. Integrated Bluetooth aptX HD allows high-quality wireless streaming.

Outputs include speaker terminals, a pre-out, subwoofer out, and a headphone jack. The EXA100 also offers a Power Amp Mode for system flexibility. Its robust chassis, toroidal transformer, and refined ā€œLunar Greyā€ design make it a premium centerpiece for any modern hi-fi setup.
