OVERVIEW
All-in-one Simplicity – Just Add Speakers
Combining streaming smarts and high-class amplification in one unit means with Evo 75 you only need to choose speakers and a streaming service to pair with it to serve up thrilling sound quality. Playing music from Evo 75 means saying goodbye to metres of connection cables, and hello to intuitive, straightforward functionality in one sleek, good-looking box. Great sound and timeless style never go out of fashion.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Use
It couldn’t be simpler. Connect Evo 75 to the mains and to your speakers. Open StreamMagic, connect to the network, then fire up your favourite music streaming service. Pick a tune, press play, adjust the volume to your taste and smile. You've plenty of time to fine-tune Evo later.
StreamMagic App
Our StreamMagic app offers full control of Evo, plus access to the world’s most popular and high-resolution music streaming services. It’s clear, logical and stable – so Evo will do precisely what you want. Alternatively, you may prefer to use the app of your favourite streaming service. Evo's ready for you to listen whichever way you choose.
Connectivity to Suit Your Needs
With both digital and analogue inputs, Evo 75 is ready to integrate into a system. Even video sources can play too – just connect your TV’s HDMI output to Evo’s ARC input. No matter where your music comes from, Evo will make it easy to stay in control.
Bluetooth Convenience. Hi-Res Sound Quality
Often, nothing’s more convenient than streaming via Bluetooth. Evo takes it to the max with Bluetooth aptX HD, which offers wireless, high-definition music streaming from compatible devices – including our Alva turntables. And because Evo also transmits with Bluetooth aptX HD, it's perfect for private listening on compatible Hi-Res wireless headphones.
Made By Music
Evo 75 uses carefully considered audio components, such as the ESS Sabre ES9016k2m Ultra DAC. And then we bring every one of our 55+ years of audio know-how to bear. The result is a performance that celebrates the talent of musicians and producers – one that retains the original raw emotive power and detail.
Complete Control
Evo is intuitive and straightforward to operate, no matter if you’re using its supplied remote control, our simple yet thorough StreamMagic app, or its physical controls – including the large dual-concentric dial on the unit’s fascia.
Neat and Easy Placement
At 317mm wide, roughly the size of a vinyl album sleeve, Evo will sit neatly where you need it to. But thanks to its award-winning design and all-around good looks, it really deserves to be centre stage.
Perfect for Alva Turntables
Evo 75’s ready for an Alva turntable, with its integrated phono stage, simply connect using the RCA inputs. Alternatively, you can couple an Alva via Bluetooth aptX, so you can place the turntable wherever it suits – which might not be adjacent Evo.
A New Life for CD
Available separately, Evo CD is the compact disc transport developed to exclusively partner Evo all-in-one players. It shares the same eye-catching design, is crafted from the same premium materials and is engineered to the same exacting standards. Evo CD extracts every piece of musical detail from your discs, then passes it seamlessly to Evo. Your CD collection is now set to join the hi-fi evolution.
Designed to Thrill, Built to Last
Evo’s confident sound, timeless looks and premium materials mean that you’ve found your new long-term musical partner – bringing pleasure to both your ears and eyes for many years to come.
REVIEW & AWARDS
A hi-fi streaming box to replace your receiver - Read More
"I really enjoy that, next to the track info and art, the Evo displays bitrate information so you know you’re getting the highest quality streams possible from your source of choice. It also has an MQA decoder on board so compatible streams — for example from Tidal’s Master library — can have their authenticity and provenance verified automatically and you can get that reassuring blue check." - Tim Biggs
Cambridge Audio Evo 75 and Evo 150 Elegantly Simplify Hi-Fi - Read More
"The $2,250 Cambridge Audio Evo 75 (or $3,000 Evo 150) is an expensive proposition, since you’ll still need to add a pair of speakers to begin listening. But if you’re looking for the easiest and most elegant entryway into the realm of audiophile level performance without having to worry about deciphering the deep ocean of terminology, specs and options out there – or worrying about the room to house a system – this all-in-one streaming audio system really does make a convincing argument that subtractive simplicity can be sublime." - Gregory Han
Cambridge Audio Evo 75 review - Read More
"There are now many streaming hi-fi products that sound great, look superb or are pleasant to use, but not many manage to nail all three as convincingly as the Cambridge Audio Evo 75. In the premium one-box streaming system market, nothing has before come this close to Naim’s Uniti range in offering the complete package.
If you’re looking for the ultimate convenience in a superb-sounding, well-featured parcel, and can’t stretch your budget to the Uniti Atom, the Evo 75 is simply the best system of its kind to spend quality time with." - What Hi-Fi?

"To quote our Cambridge Audio Evo 75 review, "Cambridge’s efforts to tick boxes and create a satisfying user experience haven’t gone to waste. The Evo 75 is the sonic success its spec sheet deserves." It's insightful, open and musical, delivering plenty of power while exhibiting dynamic prowess and a knack for digging up detail. " - Becky Roberts
Cambridge readies EVO 75, EVO 150 super-integrateds - Read More
"Old school grumps will likely scream “lifestyle”. I’ll remind them that being a separates die-hard is also a lifestyle. For this is where Future-Fi is headed: into the mainstream where hi-fi racks housing multiple black boxes just won’t cut it. That said, the Evo platform’s (side-)cheeky wink at Leak’s recent work is hard to unsee once you’ve seen it and the echo of the Naim Uniti Atom rings in the distance." - John
