Advance Paris X-i1100 Classic Integrated Stereo Amplifier Black
Advance Paris, French manufacturer of high fidelity presents the latest addition to its CLASSIC range designed for the demanding music lover. This new integrated amplifier has many technical advantages. We thus confirm our desire to leave nothing to chance and to optimize each of the modules that make up this integrated amplifier.
We get a device with many possibilities, operated intuitively, thanks to ergonomics that can be a reference, and above all a flawless and blameless musicality, all offered at a very competitive price, given 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 an “Amp ln” direct input.
The digital inputs are just as numerous: one USB, one AES, and six S/PDIF including four optical. The outputs are not to be outdone: one dedicated to unbalanced line recording and a preamplifier output, in order to connect an additional power unit to the X-i1100. The X-i1100 can power any type of speaker passive with its 220W effective per channel under 8Ω (400W under 4Ω€!) based on a toroidal transformer of 700VA and 60000uF of filtering capacity.
Features:
- 2x220W @ 8Ω (400W @ 4Ω) class AB dual mono amplification
- 6x analogue RCA inputs (including MM phono) + XLR input
- 4x Optical, 2x Coaxial, 1x AES/EBU, 1x USB Audio input
- Switchable High-Bias operating mode
- Pre-out, 2x Subwoofer out/Record out
The preamplification part is not left out with switching relays as close as possible to the inputs. The DAC has two digital signal receivers: an X-Mos processor and a jitter-corrected USB3318 for the USB input and a Cirrus Logic CS8416 for all others, AES and S/PDIF. The chosen converter, a Burr Brown PCM1796, manages signals up to 192 kHz at 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 boards, connected to the output terminals by means of 4 mm2 section cables, have a triple push-pull per channel, therefore three pairs of NJW0281 G and NJW0302G bipolar transistors.
The X-i1100 can operate up to 45 W in a mode similar to class A and switches to class AB beyond, when you activate the switch “High Bias” located on the back of the device.
The mechanical construction has also been meticulous: five compartments forming as many galvanic insulations and contributing to the rigidity of the X-i1100 are integrated into the chassis. optimum ventilation of the X-i1100
