Evolution CS 3.3 + 5.3
CD-Receiver with Streaming
All-in-One Streaming CD Receiver with 2 x 350 W · X-Stream Engine® for HiRes streaming including DSD, controllable via the RC X APP
Spotify Connect, QOBUZ, TIDAL Connect MAX, Internet Radio ·Bluetooth 5.0, Airplay 2, ROON ready · AVM multiroom functions
2 digital inputs (SPDIF coax & opt.) · Pure CD Drive · Dimmable, white OLED display with touchpoint control and proximity sensor
High-performance all-in-one device
The AVM CS 3.3 and CS 5.3 all-in-one devices are based on the AVM X-Stream Engine® and offer a modern, intuitive control through the RC X app. They combine all modern connections, such as HDMI ARC for TV and phono inputs for MM/MC systems, thus replacing complex device combinations. The screwless aluminum casing impresses with minimalist elegance and high-quality design.
Tube sound and elegant appearance
The CS 5.3 stands out with its Tube Line Stage, located in the preamplifier section. These tubes, custom-made for AVM, reveal their sonic charm through a specially developed tube stage. AVM’s proprietary circuitry ensures a long tube lifespan of approximately 20,000 hours.
The CS 3.3 relies exclusively on transistor technology. It offers identical connectivity and performance specifications as the CS 5.3.
Sound technology and amplifier power
The CS 3.3 and CS 5.3 offer a significant sound improvement thanks to powerful amplifier stages, which now deliver 350 watts at 4 ohms, effortlessly driving any speaker. The digital section has been newly developed and is based on the ESS9028 PRO Double-Quad DAC, which operates with four DACs per channel and perfectly reproduces high-resolution formats.
Hand-crafted precision and quality control
The Evolution CS devices are available in aluminum silver or black, and can also be ordered in the exclusive Cellini version with a chrome front and polished knobs on request. All devices are handmade in the AVM factory in Malsch and undergo intensive quality controls. An extended warranty of up to four years is available with online registration.
