Musical CD Playback with Flexible Analog and Digital Connectivity
The Advance Paris X-CD7 CD Player is designed to extract the musical detail stored in your CD collection while providing the connectivity needed for both traditional and modern Hi-Fi systems. Its internal Wolfson WM8761 digital-to-analog converter feeds both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs, allowing the player to connect directly to an integrated amplifier, preamplifier or other line-level audio component.
Advance Paris places particular emphasis on power-supply quality within the X-CD7. Its power architecture supplies the CD mechanism, laser-control circuitry and digital-to-analog conversion stages while separating the power supply from the DAC board to help preserve clean signal reproduction. Coaxial and optical digital outputs also allow the X-CD7 to operate as a CD transport with an external DAC or compatible digital amplifier.
