Some designs are timeless
Back in the late '80s the DeLorean DMC-12 became iconic for its bare-metal design. And now it's the turn of the Evo 150. Music, stripped bare.
With Evo 150, we’ve brought your audio past and present into the future – all you need to do is add speakers to enjoy superb high-resolution audio quality from one elegant, discreet box.
And thanks to its suite of digital and analogue inputs, as well as its high-quality digital-to-analogue converter, Evo can be the heart of your hi-fi system for years to come.
Two Icons Meet
Now, iconic automotive design meets 50 years of audio experience and a passion for elevating the emotion of music. Introducing the Limited Edition DeLorean Evo 150 from Cambridge Audio.
Our Partnership Is More Than Skin Deep
Cambridge is the proud audio partner for DeLorean, developing the next generation of in-car audio experiences. The Evo 150 DeLorean Edition is the first of a line of special projects, taking design elements from the car that shaped a generation, into the sound that's shaping the future of hi-fi.
One Chassis: Two Body Kits
Customise your look with interchangeable side panels included in the box.
Classic bare metal or signature front grille styling featuring the recognisable DeLorean logo emblems.
Bluetooth Convenience. Hi-Res Sound Quality
Often nothing’s more convenient than streaming via Bluetooth. Evo takes it to the max with aptX HD Bluetooth, which features wireless, high-definition music streaming from compatible devices – including our Alva turntables. And because Evo also transmits with Bluetooth aptx HD, it's perfect for private listening on compatible Hi-Res wireless headphones.
Easy to Set Up, Easy to Upgrade
It couldn’t be simpler. Connect Evo 150 to the mains and to your speakers. Open StreamMagic, connect to the network, then fire up your favourite music streaming service. Pick a tune, press play and adjust the volume to suit. When you're ready, you can dig deeper to set Evo 150 up just how you want it, adding functionality as you go.
Made By Music
Evo 150 uses the best audio components, such as the ESS SABRE ES9018k2m Reference DAC. And then we bring every one of our 55+ years of audio know-how to bear. The result is a performance that celebrates the talent of musicians and producers – one that retains the original raw emotive power and detail.
Complete Control
Evo is intuitive and straightforward to operate, no matter if you're using its supplied remote control, our simple yet thorough StreamMagic app, or its physical controls – including the large dual-concentric dial on the unit's fascia.
Neat and Easy Placement
At 317mm wide, roughly the size of a vinyl album sleeve, Evo will sit neatly where you need it to. But thanks to its award-winning design and all-around good looks, it really deserves to be centre stage.
Designed to Thrill, Built to Last
Evo's confident sound, timeless looks and premium materials mean that you've found your new long-term musical partner – bringing pleasure to both your ears and eyes for many years to come.

Cambridge Audio Evo 150 DeLorean Edition
The DeLorean Edition condenses flagship features into a compact streaming integrated amp, anchored by 150W into 8 Ohms from a Hypex Ncore Class‑D stage. Reviewers praised its low noise floor and detailed transparency, revealing refined mids, crisp treble and surprising chest‑impacting bass with exceptional control and headroom. The ESS Sabre DAC and a robust MM phono stage deliver refined digital and vinyl playback, while load‑invariant behavior and low distortion underpin precise imaging and dynamics. The brushed bare‑metal finish, high‑res display and small footprint suit modern living rooms; streaming is exhaustive (AirPlay, Chromecast, Tidal, Spotify, Roon Ready, HDMI eARC). For listeners wanting an all‑in‑one that blends audiophile clarity, powerful dynamics and broad connectivity, this Evo 150 represents a compelling, well‑engineered package noted by Audioholics and Future Audiophile.
Pros
- Exceptionally low noise floor and revealing transparency that uncovers microdetail and stable imaging.
- Strong, controlled dynamics and impactful bass from the Hypex Ncore 150W design—drives speakers confidently even with demanding material.
- Extensive connectivity and streaming features (HDMI eARC, AirPlay, Chromecast, aptX HD, Roon Ready) plus a well‑implemented MM phono stage make it a true all‑in‑one.
&
Cons
- No bass management or built‑in PEQ—users who need subwoofer crossover control must rely on external subwoofer DSP.
- Limited appeal of the DeLorean stainless styling and some ergonomic niggles (overlapped front dials); StreamMagic app/interface is functional but seen as lagging top competitors.

Dynamics
90/100
As a 150W Class-D (Hypex Ncore) unit it outperforms expectations — reviewers described powerful, chest‑impacting bass and percussive slam (Audioholics: 'sounded much more powerful than its bench tests suggested', 'room-filling bass'). Low distortion and load-invariant behavior add to a sense of effortless control and headroom.
Soundstage Imaging
90/100
Listeners reported excellent layering, imaging stability and fine-grained micro-details (Future Audiophile: subtle hand claps and instrument placement; Audioholics: vocals dead center, convincing instrument placement). The combination of quiet electronics and a revealing DAC yields a spacious, well-focused presentation.

Build Quality
88/100
The DeLorean Edition receives praise for its industrial cosmetic treatment and solid industrial design (Future Audiophile: 'jaw-droppingly gorgeous'; Audioholics: unique bare-metal finish). Internals use high-quality modules (Hypex Ncore, StreamMagic) and a well-engineered phono stage, though the unit is relatively lightweight for its capabilities.
Features Connectivity
95/100
Extremely comprehensive feature set: balanced XLR input, MM phono stage, high-quality ESS DAC, USB, optical/coax, HDMI eARC, Chromecast/AirPlay/Spotify/TIDAL/Qobuz/Roon Ready streaming, Bluetooth aptX HD, preamp and subwoofer outputs, headphone out and A/B speaker outputs. This breadth places it at the top end of integrated-feature scoring (capped at the schema maximum).
Value for Money
90/100
Reviewers consistently find it competitive with peers (NAD, Rotel, HiFi Rose) and sometimes superior; Audioholics emphasises its exceptional performance for a compact, modestly rated amplifier, while Future Audiophile calls it in line or better than competitors at this price. The language supports a justified-premium assessment rather than a bargain claim.
