Is Cambridge Audio good quality?
The sound is almost as good – although you’ll have to attach an annoying USB dongle to use Bluetooth – and the functionality, build quality, and design are fundamentally the same. We think it’s worth spending the extra money, but if you want to experience Cambridge on a relative budget, check out the CXA60.
Does the Cambridge Audio AXA35 have a DAC?
Paired with the right loudspeakers, the Cambridge Audio AXA35 will surprise you with its warm tonal balance, swagger, and unbridled presence with all types of music. It does lack an internal streamer and DAC, so that needs to be figured into the final cost if assembling a system around it.
Does the Cambridge AXA35 have Bluetooth?
There’s no Bluetooth connectivity or USB input for the AXA35, though – the absence of the latter is understandable at this price point, but the lack of the former is a little disappointing. The remote that comes with the Cambridge Audio looks like a DVD player remote, minus a few buttons.
What is an integrated stereo amplifier?
An integrated amplifier (pre/main amp) is an electronic device containing an audio preamplifier and power amplifier in one unit, as opposed to separating the two. Most modern audio amplifiers are integrated and have several inputs for devices such as CD players, DVD players, and auxiliary sources.
What class is Cambridge Audio CXA81?
class A/B amplification
The Cambridge Audio CXA81 is a powerful stereo amplifier that outputs up to 80 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 120 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The amp uses class A/B amplification, so you know the sound quality will be better than any other similar product on market today!
Is an integrated amplifier better than a receiver?
Basically, it’s a stereo receiver without an AM/FM tuner. Since almost no one listens to terrestrial radio anymore, integrated amps are the way to go. Take, for example, the NAD C 356BEE — I like its straightforward approach that minimizes glitz and useless features and prioritizes sound quality.
Do integrated amps sound better than receivers?
The volume of sound that a stereo amplifier produces depends on its power, measured in watts. Thus high powered amplifiers produce better and clearer sounds than those with lower power. On the other hand, the AV receiver is meant to receive both audio and video sounds and its output does not depend on its power.
Does Cambridge Audio support MQA?
This is Cambridge Audio’s first product to natively support MQA files. MQA is an award-winning British technology that not only captures all the fine detail of an original recording but also makes it easy to stream online thanks to incredibly compact file sizes.
