Dedicated CD transport & DAC • ESS Sabre conversion • Coax/optical digital outs • 30th Anniversary styling
The Advance Paris ACD APEX is a dedicated CD player designed to sit perfectly alongside APEX series integrated amplifiers. A low-resonance chassis, carefully controlled disc transport, and ESS Sabre DAC work together to extract the musicality still locked inside your CD collection. Use it as a complete player via the analog outputs, or as a rock-solid digital transport feeding an external DAC.
Voiced to complement Advance Paris integrated amplifiers such as the A8, A10, and A12 APEX, while remaining flexible enough for use with any quality preamp or integrated.
Precision transport — Dedicated CD drive with stable servo control minimizes read errors and jitter at the source.
ESS Sabre DAC — High-performance converter stage offers wide dynamic range, low noise, and natural tonal balance.
Isolated digital and analog stages — Careful PCB layout and power-supply filtering help reduce interference between sections.
Rigid chassis — Metal enclosure and robust feet combat vibration from speakers and rooms for more stable playback.
The ACD APEX is designed primarily for standard Red Book audio CDs. It will also play many recordable CD-R discs that contain audio tracks.
No. The built-in ESS Sabre DAC delivers excellent performance from the analog outputs. You can still add an external DAC later if you want to tailor the sound.
Use the analog RCA outputs to connect to any line-level input, or use the coaxial/optical digital outputs to feed a separate DAC or digital input.
Yes. It’s compatible with any integrated amp or preamp that has standard RCA line inputs or digital inputs for use as a transport.
