Cambridge Audio EXA100 Integrated Stereo Amplifier

The Cambridge Audio EXA100 Integrated Amplifier is the beating heart of the new EX series, representing a serious leap forward in performance and engineering. Developed over three years and fine-tuned for more than a thousand days at Cambridge Audio's London HQ, the EXA100 draws directly from the flagship Edge M monobloc technology. It delivers 100 watts of muscular, refined Class AB power per channel, capable of driving even the most demanding high-end speakers with effortless authority and breathtaking detail.

A DIFFERENT CLASS OF POWER

The EXA100 isn't just about raw wattage; it's about the quality of that power. utilizing trickledown technology from the revered Edge series, the amplifier modules are meticulously tuned to deliver the warmth and depth of Class A with the efficiency of Class AB. This is supported by an advanced four-layer printed circuit board that minimizes interference and a specially selected reservoir capacitor that ensures instant, dynamic power delivery when the music demands it.

DIGITAL POWERHOUSE

While it excels as an analogue amplifier, the EXA100 is equally capable in the digital domain. It houses the acclaimed ESS ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC, ensuring that digital sources—from your TV via HDMI eARC to your computer via USB Audio—are treated with the same audiophile care. The USB input supports high-resolution audio up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, breathing new life into your digital library.

DESIGNED TO BE SEEN

The EXA100 is a statement piece, finished in Cambridge Audio's signature Lunar Grey. The milled aluminium front panel features a tactile, knurled volume knob that offers a satisfyingly weighted feel. Behind the beautiful casework lies the Cambridge Audio Protection (CAP) system, which monitors power, voltage, and temperature in real-time to keep your amplifier and speakers safe without interfering with the sound quality.
