Advance Paris 2 Channel Integrated Amplifier

Product Overview

We get a device with numerous possibilities, used intuitively, thanks to ergonomics that can be a reference, and above all a flawless and irreproachable musicality, all offered at a very competitive price, in view of the enormous potential of the X-i1100. The X-i1100 has no less than six inputs, including a moving magnet phono, an unbalanced and balanced CD, a tuner, two auxiliaries and a direct "Amp ln" input.

The digital inputs are just as numerous: one USB, one AES, and six S/PDIF, including four optical. The outputs are not left out: one dedicated to unbalanced line recording and a preamplifier output, in order to connect an additional power block to the X-i1100. The X-i1100 can power any type of passive speaker with its 220W RMS per channel under 8Ω (400W under 4Ω€!) based on a 700VA toroidal transformer and 60000uF of filtering capacity.

The preamplification part is not left out with switching relays close to the inputs. The DAC has two digital signal receivers: an X-Mos processor and a USB3318 with jitter correction for the USB input and a Cirrus Logic CS8416 for all the others, AES and S / PDIF. The chosen converter, a Burr Brown PCM1796, manages signals up to 192 kHz under 24 bits. Metal film resistors and polypropylene capacitors contribute to the quality of reproduction of this integrated amplifier. Mounted on large heat sinks, the amplifier cards, connected to the output terminals by means of 4 mm² section cables, have a triple push-pull per channel, therefore three pairs of bipolar transistors NJW0281 G and NJW0302G.

The mechanical construction has also been carefully considered: five compartments forming as many galvanic isolations and contributing to the rigidity of the X-i1100 are integrated into the chassis. The chassis made of steel topped with black aluminum sides and a perforated cover ensures optimum ventilation of the X-i1100.
