Advance Paris X-Preamplifier

New circuits, improved design, more music, more modern presentation - this is the X-Preamp.

• The X-Preamp combines all the classic functions and technology of a high-end preamplifier. The extensive connectivity allows for numerous connections to various sources, with Balanced and Unbalanced inputs and outputs, and a phono input for turntables equipped with an MM cartridge.

• The X-Preamp incorporates a top-of-the-line Burr Brown PCM 1796 converter, 24-bit x 192 kHz for processing Coaxial, Optical, and AES/EBU inputs, as well as an asynchronous USB - XMOS 24-bit x 192 kHz input that allows you to obtain exceptional musical performance from your MAC or PC. These circuits are currently the best available and are generally only found in much more expensive devices.

• The X-Preamp is equipped with a tone control and balance, which can be disconnected via a “Bypass” feature.

• A universal remote control is included with the X-Preamp for added convenience.

• Toroidal transformer
• Burr Brown PCM 1796 converter: 16-24 bits (44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz and 192kHz)
• X-MOS Asynchronous USB B Converter: 24 bit x 192 kHz
