Cambridge Audio Edge NQ/W Music Streamer-Preamplifier/Stereo Power Amp Combo
The Cambridge Audio Edge NQ/W combines a sophisticated network music streamer and preamplifier with a substantial stereo power amplifier, creating a system that feels every bit as considered as it sounds. The NQ handles streaming from services including Spotify Connect, TIDAL and Qobuz, alongside AirPlay, Chromecast and high-resolution digital playback. Its generous range of digital and analogue connections makes it equally at home with existing sources, while the crisp colour display and beautifully weighted control dial lend a welcome sense of occasion to everyday listening.
The matching Edge W power amplifier provides 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, doubling to 200 watts into 4 ohms, with twin toroidal transformers and a robustly engineered circuit design built around a short signal path. There's a pleasing sense of composure to the combination, balancing fine detail and a convincing soundstage with the weight and dynamic freedom to bring larger speakers to life. Finished in understated aluminium, the NQ/W is a handsome, well engineered pairing for anyone after high-end streaming and proper stereo amplification without a rack full of separate components.
