According to our amplifier expert
The Cambridge Audio CXA61 is a high-grade 60W amplifier, so your music will sound the way the artist intended. If you connect a digital audio source such as a CD player via the Toslink or coaxial input, the high-grade digital-analog converter ensures you enjoy high quality sound. The amplifier has 60W power per channel, so it provides detailed and powerful sound. Thanks to Bluetooth support, you can stream music wirelessly from your tablet or smartphone to the amplifier. And because the Bluetooth has the aptX profile, the wireless connection won't compromise the sound quality.

Bought to replace my 15 year old Arcam A65. This amplifier does not only look beautiful, the sound quality is simply phenomenal. The Arcam would almost pale in comparison. In combination with a pair of Dali Ikon 6 speakers and Azur 540C CD player (also Cambridge audio) I rediscover some CDs. The built-in DAC is an absolute plus and sounds even better than the Azur 540C's Wolfson DAC (which is no small feat). Not cheap, but can easily hold its own among high-end amps that cost two to three times more.

After much hesitation, I decided to replace the weakest link in my HiFi system (the amplifier) with the Cambridge Audio CXA61. Immediately after plugging in, I noticed an improvement in sound quality, especially when combined with digital input, which makes the CXA's DAC come into its own.
The connection options are endless, and I appreciate the aptX Bluetooth connection, which allows you to quickly set up something from your phone if you don't feel like or have the time to put on a record or connect music from another source. All this without significantly affecting the sound quality.
The amp automatically turns itself off if it no longer detects an input for a while, which is a good improvement over the 'dumb' saving features of the past that simply turned the amp off after a set amount of time.
The only downside is that the remote also contains buttons for the CXN and the CXC, neither of which I own. If you would buy it, you would get the same remote control twice, which I think is a strange design choice.
All in all a must!

Of course I like this product after thorough discussion and research and so I knew that I was a good device. Very satisfied with the products of Cool Blue and this price was also an option to purchase. "Keep up the good work"
