The device is suitable as both a central hub in a classic hi-fi system and for modern, digitally-oriented setups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClass AB Amplification, DAC, and Toroidal Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CXA81 Mk II employs custom Class AB amplification, combining warmth with efficiency. This concept is complemented by a toroidal transformer and a short signal path designed for minimal coloration. For digital music, an ESS ES9018K2M SABRE32 DAC is integrated, supporting high resolution up to 32-bit\/384kHz and DSD256. Thus, the amplifier combines power reserves, precision, and detail in a design optimized for musicality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnections and Integration in Hi-Fi Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmong the clear strengths of the Cambridge Audio CXA81 Mk II are its versatile connectivity options. Available are balanced XLR inputs, four RCA inputs, TOSLINK, coaxial S\/PDIF, USB Audio, and integrated Bluetooth 4.2 with aptX HD. Additionally, there are pre-out, sub out, headphone output, and two speaker outputs for speaker pairs A and B. This allows the amplifier to be flexibly integrated into various systems, for instance with a second pair of speakers in another room or as part of a system with other CX components.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComfort, Operation, and System Functions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CXA81 Mk II is deliberately minimalist in design, focusing on a clear operating structure with a power button, input selection, and volume control. In daily use, features such as standby mode with less than 0.5 watts, auto power down after 20 minutes of inactivity, and an included remote control provide convenience. For integration into networked playback chains, the model is Roon Tested and can be connected to a PC or Mac via USB. Compatible Cambridge products can also be controlled together via Control Bus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProtection System and Special Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother distinguishing feature is the CAP5 protection system with five protection functions: DC Detection, Over Temperature Detection, Overvoltage\/Overcurrent Detection, Short Circuit Detection, and Intelligent Clipping Detection. This protection concept is designed for reliability and a long lifespan for both the amplifier and connected speakers. Together with the high-quality material selection of aluminum and steel, the tidy design, and the wide range of source options, the Cambridge Audio CXA81 Mk II positions itself as a powerful integrated amplifier with a clear focus on sound quality, system integration, and everyday usability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge Audio","offers":[{"title":"Luna Grey","offer_id":54748073328981,"sku":"50871","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":54748073361749,"sku":"60565","price":1199.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/9715\/6693\/files\/IMG50871_166803.jpg?v=1787658939","url":"https:\/\/fidelity-hh.de\/en\/products\/cx-a81-mkii","provider":"Fidelity","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
