I just watched your review and for me who has been thinking of replacing CXA81+CXN V2 with EVO 150 for some time, your explanation is very useful and thank you for that. Apart from the very beautiful modern appearance and many abilities, I I read many reviews and Bench Tests about this product and they all emphasized on the high quality and ability of this product. The point that was mentioned in these reviews, apart from its very low noise and distortion, is the good damping factor of this device. 250 value for EVO vs 100 for CXA81. What I learned is that the higher the value of this factor, the greater the ability to run larger speakers, speakers with higher power or lower efficiency. It provides better and easier. The only thing that I would have liked to change in this device was the upgrade of the DAC to a higher model in DeLorean Edition. I hope you keep this device as a reference.
I got the same setup and considering switching to decrease the number of items, plus I could use an HDMI input. Did you end up getting it? My concern is changing the type of sound. I do like the warm sound of the CXA amp
@@vascoernesto78 The thing that made me not change to EVO150 until now is the sound type. Recently I am researching about IOTA VX SA40. And a new DAC/Streamer
@@0102studio thanks for your comment and my apologies for the error on my part. A reputable dealer here indicated to me that the app incl parametric equalization. Subsequently Another dealer indicated a day later that there were no bass and treble ctrls which i knew was incorrect having both read there to be and proved instore after downloading the app . Both dealers proved Incorrect Regarding the information they supplied me..
Could you please explain how to integrate this product into a 5.1 Set with an AVR/Receiver? Did you connect the pre-outs L/R of the AVR to the Aux-In of this 150? And if yes, how does it turn on? Automatically or through 12V Trigger? Thx
No problem, L&R preout from AvR to the aux input of the EVO 150. Then in the StreamMagic app, enable Home Theater bypass on that input. And in my setup either the Cmabridge remote or the Marantz remote powers both products on and off simultaneously, no trigger required!
I have the cinema 70s, I find it really struggles to power my warfedale EVO 4.1’s and KEF r100s, is this a significant upgrade in 2 channel stereo sound? And I assume you still connected your sub to the 70s?
I switch my sub back and forth sometimes. But mostly leave it cinnected to the 70, yes. But yes its a huge upgrade to the Cinema 70, as would any outboard amp.
I have no issue with class D. My last 3 amps have been a Chord, BelCanto, and a Devialet expert pro 250. All wonderful and used, so I saved thousands.

Could you do a review where you compare the Evo 150 with the Nad uniti atom. I would be very grateful.
Hopefully I can get my paws on one!

@@RICCO29900 I’m actively trying to get ahold of one of those. Stay tuned!
My bother had this I think he found it abit too polite he was running B&w 704 s2 at the time
hi ....the tone controls aare more than bass and treble. The 150 has parametric equalizer as well
Are you sure about that?
