Amplifier with DAC
The beating heart of the EX, our EXA100 integrated amplifier took three years to develop; over a thousand days spent fine-tuning it at our London headquarters have created a major step forward in power and performance for CX Series amplifiers.
Powered by the trickle-down technology of our flagship Edge M monoblock power amplifier, the EXA100 uses its 100W of perfectly tuned Class AB amplification to drive high-end speakers with ease.
In the Summer of Love, our P40 amplifier was the first to feature a toroidal transformer - and it transformed audio forever.
The EXA100's advanced toroidal transformer is extensively shielded, super-quiet and flanked by heavy-duty heat sinks for flawless performance, extending the legacy of the P40.
The EXA100 lets you listen how and where you want, in sublime quality. The balanced XLR inputs offer a premium analogue connection, while the two sets of speaker outputs allow you to stream music in two different rooms.
The bass-heads can even add a subwoofer to the dedicated pre-out output. With the EX, you find a world of possibilities.
From its exceptional high-resolution DAC to HDMI eARC input and Bluetooth aptX HD, the EXA100 is a digital audio powerhouse. Whatever music service or source device you choose, the EXA100 will breathe new life into your digital sounds.
Our innovation doesn't stop on the inside: the EXA100 has a stunning new design, featuring a milled aluminium front panel and a tactile knurled volume control knob. This incredible amp looks as powerful as it sounds.
Switch it to Power Amp Mode and the EXA100 will pair perfectly with any preamp, giving you great flexibility, whether in a stereo or multi-channel system.
To ensure a longer and happier listening life for our amplifiers and your speakers, we have developed a unique patented protection system, CAP.
This system uses different methods to detect potential problems, such as power and temperature overloads, and take preventative measures. So you can relax and enjoy your music, worry-free.
From the precision of its structure to the technology inside, the EXA100 is gloriously designed. Whether it's a four-layer PCB or a reservoir capacitor, every component is carefully selected and properly implemented. We care about the small details; it matters.
