Both amplifiers and both views share one scale, so everything here is directly comparable. Hover a box for its dimensions.

One scale for both, aligned at the back panels the way they would sit against a wall, so the deeper one visibly stands further out.

Cambridge Audio Evo 75 needs about 96% more shelf area. Cambridge Audio Evo 75 is 94mm deeper - the measurement that decides whether a rack door closes. NAD Masters Series M10 V2 is 12mm taller.

Verdict

No single best amplifier here. What decides it is what you have to drive, what you need to plug in, and how much of the system you want in one box.

AreaBetterWhy
PowerBNAD Masters Series M10 V2 has more power - 100W against 75W into 8 ohms. That is about 1.2dB, which is a small step in loudness but real headroom on peaks.
Room sizedependsWe rate Cambridge Audio Evo 75 the better fit for a small room, and NAD Masters Series M10 V2 for a large room and a very large room. Match the amplifier to the room you actually have, not the one you want.
Grip on hard loadsACambridge Audio Evo 75 holds up better into a 4-ohm load: its output nearly doubles to 150W, where the other barely increases. That matters with demanding speakers far more than the 8-ohm figure does.
Built-in DACABoth decode on board. Cambridge Audio Evo 75 goes higher - 384kHz against 192kHz. Very few recordings exist above 192kHz, so treat this as headroom, not as sound quality.
Streamingevenly matchedOnly Cambridge Audio Evo 75 has Chromecast; only NAD Masters Series M10 V2 has BluOS. Neither list is longer in a way that matters - check the one service you actually pay for.
Analogue inputsBNAD Masters Series M10 V2 takes more analogue sources - 2 against 1.
Room to growevenly matchedThe same expansion options on both.
HeadphonesdependsOnly Cambridge Audio Evo 75 has a headphone output. Worth something if you listen late, nothing if you never do.
Shelf spacedependsNAD Masters Series M10 V2 takes up about 49% less shelf area (606cm² against 1190cm²), and it is 94mm shallower, which is the measurement that decides whether a rack door shuts.
PriceACambridge Audio Evo 75 costs less - $2,499 against $2,999 at list.

A Cambridge Audio Evo 75  B NAD Masters Series M10 V2
depends neither is better in the abstract - it turns on your room, your system or how you will use them. Only specs published for both amplifiers are judged; anything missing on either side is left out rather than guessed.

Which should you choose?

Neither runs away with it - they trade advantages. Let the "depends" rows and the speakers you already own settle it. If your speakers are a difficult load - 4 ohms nominal, big woofers, or a sensitivity in the low 80s - Cambridge Audio Evo 75 is the safer partner, because how an amplifier behaves when the impedance drops matters more than its 8-ohm rating.

What a spec sheet cannot show: how either sounds with your speakers, how the controls feel day to day, and what the app is like to live with - which is where most all-in-one amplifiers are actually won or lost. Power figures are the manufacturers' own and are not measured to a common standard, so treat small differences as noise. If you can hear both, that will tell you more than any row above.
