The EXA100 integrated amplifier and EXN100 network streamer form the new Cambridge Audio EX-Series, filling a gap left when the brand's Azur 851 range was discontinued.

Cambridge Audio introduces the EXA100 stereo integrated amplifier for $2,199 and the EXN100 Network Music Streamer for $1,799.

Now the British brand has upped the ante even further, bringing an all-new product upgrade, the Cambridge Audio EXN100, as part of its line-up. It's an even higher-specified product aimed at discerning listeners who wish to pump high-resolution audio wirelessly around their home sound system.

According to Cambridge, the EXA100 is the spiritual successor to the Azur 851 range, promising 100wpc of Class A/B amplification from power transistors pulled from the company’s more costly Edge M monoblocks. Those are juiced by a large toroidal transformer and flanked by heavy-duty heatsinks that can be seen through the top-panel cooling grilles.

Cambridge Audio has unveiled its new EX Series components, comprising the EXN100 Music Streamer and EXA100 stereo integrated amplifier. The EXN100 utilises the ESS ES9028Q2M SABRE32 Reference DAC from CXN100, but improves connectivity with the addition of HDMI eARC, Bluetooth aptX HD and a 25 per cent larger 1280x720 colour display.
