Cambridge Audio EDGE A

The Cambridge Audio Edge A is a high-performance integrated amplifier that represents the ultimate expression of British engineering in high-fidelity audio. Designed and developed at Cambridge Audio's historic factory in England, the Edge A features the exclusive Class XA technology, a unique amplification topology that offers the best of Class A and Class AB: the warmth and finesse of Class A with the power and efficiency of Class AB.

With two oversized toroidal transformers, a bespoke PCB design and carefully selected highest-quality components, the Edge A delivers 100W per channel into 8 ohms with extraordinarily low distortion. Every stage is duplicated in a true dual-mono configuration for exceptional channel separation and signal purity.

The built-in DAC accepts USB signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, and includes Bluetooth aptX HD connectivity for high-quality wireless streaming. Its symmetrical design and careful component layout minimise electromagnetic interference, guaranteeing a three-dimensional, transparent soundstage.
