The Cambridge Evo 150 DeLorean Edition is like a love letter to both tech enthusiasts and fans of retro-futuristic aesthetics. It packs a punch with its 150W per channel power, thanks to the Hypex NCore Class D amp tucked inside its chassis. This means it should have no trouble filling your room with sound, no matter what speakers you pair it with.
Its heart, a high-end ESS Sabre DAC, is pretty adept at handling a wide range of audio formats. This is good news for those who have their music collections in various digital formats because it promises to deliver clear and detailed sound across the board.
Connectivity-wise, this thing is pretty loaded. It caters to both the old school and the new with inputs for vinyl fans and a suite of wireless streaming options, including Bluetooth and support for streaming services like Spotify and Tidal. The large display and the dual-concentric dial make navigating through your music sources as straightforward as flipping through a magazine.
One of the cooler aspects is the device's design, directly inspired by the DeLorean car — yes, the one from "Back to the Future." It comes with interchangeable side panels, so you can switch up its look to match your mood or room decor. Plus, there’s an update coming that’ll add VU meters to the display, giving it that classic amp vibe in a digital format.
Priced at $3,199, it's not exactly pocket change, but for those looking to invest in a piece of equipment that doubles as a conversation starter while providing high-quality sound, it could be worth considering.
