CX Series 2. The Sound Of Progress.
 
Half a decade after the CX range redefined performance at its price point, it’s time to reimagine, reengineer and reinvigorate. The all-new CXA81 integrated amplifiers build on the foundations laid (and the Awards won) by CXA80, but with a fresh and progressive perspective.
The CXA81 is poised, effortless and sophisticated. Its 80 watts per channel give it complete authority over music, and it wrings every emotional and musical nuance from your whole collection.
 
80-watts per channel with Class AB amplification for detailed and powerful audio performance
Separate, symmetrical left and right channels are carefully engineered to deliver incredible sound-staging
Balanced XLR inputs for low noise interference 
High Quality DAC - Connect digital sources directly via TOSLINK and Coaxial
USB Audio Input accepting up to 32bit/384kHz & DSD 256 digital files from Mac or PC
Bluetooth aptX HD built in
 
The CXA81 is designed to bring your music to life, no matter how it’s stored. So it features an entirely new digital board, including the cutting-edge ESS Sabre ES9016 digital-to-analogue convertor. Which means digital audio files up to a heady 32bit/384kHz, or DSD256, are brought dramatically to life, with every detail and nuance delivered intact and in full. The CXA81 combines unparalleled accuracy with vivid musicality, without sacrificing convenience.
 
Thanks to numerous improvements and upgrades - and thanks to an overspecified toroidal transformer - the CXA81 delivers a prodigious 80 watts of power per channel. This means the CXA81 has complete authority over even the most demanding speakers, it means big dynamic shifts in music are handled with total control, and it means the whole musical picture is available no matter if you’re playing at discreet background levels or at party-time volumes.
 
 
Thanks to relentless dedication to progressive engineering, The CXA81 is a complete solution. Its combination of versatility, power and audio excellence means it can form the centre of your musical experience for years to come.
