Rewarding Performance
CXA61 builds on the foundations laid by the original CX Series, and over 50 years’ experience of designing amplifiers. It provides a fresh perspective, with 60 watts per channel of pure excitement. It’s a punchy and upfront listen, without giving away detail or precision – whether you want to recreate the atmosphere of the mosh pit or the concert hall.
CX Black Edition
We present a 1000-piece limited edition of each CX Series 2 model in a minimalist matt black finish, with discreet gloss black branding. The same award-winning sound as CX, only in black. Why? Because we thought they’d look dead cool. If you want some, please don’t delay – CX Black Edition won’t be here for long.
Lost in Your Music
Designed to bring you closer to the music you love, CXA61 places you right at the heart of your favourite recordings – revealing every note in the most natural, effortless, and detailed way imaginable. Analogue or digital, lo-fi or hi-res, CXA61 lets the music take you wherever you want to go.
Return on Investment
Our engineering team in London invested hours researching, developing, experimenting and, above all, listening to ensure that CXA61 was right. Their goal: to deliver a thrilling, focused and detailed musical performance. Every component selected, and decision made, based on the desire to make the CXA61 a very accomplished integrated amplifier.
Effortlessly Musical
At the heart of CXA61 beats a Class AB power amplifier stage with optimised capacitor values. It takes the musicality of Class A and blends it with the efficiency of Class B. The amp’s short signal path leaves little opportunity for interference. The resulting sound is detailed, while delivering the emotional impact the artist intended.
Power with Control
Thanks to its toroidal transformer, CXA61 delivers 60 watts of pure power per channel. With a special volume pot designed to minimise crosstalk, the result is an amplifier with reserves of power – ready to exploit the dynamic potential of your speakers and deliver volume without stress or distortion.
All of the Music
To deliver the maximum musical experience, no matter the source, CXA61 has a digital board featuring the acclaimed ESS Sabre ES9010 K2M digital-to-analogue convertor (DAC). CXA61 can bring digital audio files, up to high resolution 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256, vividly to life – combining convenience with a performance unimagined at this price.
Get Connected
CXA61 is a well-connected amp. As well as digital optical and coaxial connections, it features plenty of stereo analogue inputs alongside wireless hi-res connectivity via Bluetooth aptX HD – perfect for sources like an Alva ST turntable. You can even connect a second pair of speakers, to share your music with another room.
Designed for Life
Thanks to the relentless dedication of our team in London, CXA61 is a complete solution. Its combination of versatility and high performance, means it can form the centre of your musical system for many years to come. Its elegant, minimalistic lines, crafted from aluminium and steel, will endure both physically and aesthetically.

Suono molto caldo
L'ho comprato una settimana fa e sono felice di avere fatto questo acquisto anche se ho dovuto comprare il preamplificatore phono separato perché Cambridge audio cxa 61 non ha una scheda phono integrata e questo un po' mi delude
Ottimo prodotto qualità prezzo

Built to last and delivers .
Purchased a week ago on Amazon and so far exceptionally pleased. I have been upgrading an audio system with components mostly 20 years old or so. They are still fine components but given the advances in technology felt the upgrade was in order. The Amp of course is a key factor, and after exhaustive research, settling on this product has proven thus far to be a correct decision as it delivers with the right balance of warmth and power, and integrates with my new KEF Q 150's and Audio Technica Turntable. In addition it drives my Denon Japanese CD player (the one component I have decided not to upgrade for now as it's still a powerhouse} to new heights. Thanks Cambridge from here in the USA.

I bought this integrated DAC amp mainly as the basis for my 2.1 TV audio system. I find multi-channel tv sound fatiguing, and much prefer stereo ( with or without a sub).
I feed optical Toslink digital audio signal straight from the smart TV to the CXA amp, using Harbeth PS3 speakers either side of the screen.
The sound is completely neutral, voices are natural and realistic, very articulate, lacking the bass bloom which has bothered me with lesser amps. I found no need for a sub, although the CXA allows for this.
Used for music, the presentation is again very neutral, although I would say more suited to vocal and acoustic instruments than EDM!
Very well built, it loses a star for the feeble 3.5mm headphone socket. I use headphones a lot, and this amp need a proper full-sized headphone socket. I predict this mini socket will give up the ghost pretty quickly (hopefully when still under warranty) due to the normal mechanical stresses of plugging and unplugging full size headphones and cables while using an adapter.
