➡️ Discontinued model - only a few left.
X-i1100 is a powerhouse integrated with a deft touch! Up to 45w Class A.
"The Advance Paris X-i1100 integrated amplifier is, by all means, an absolutely gorgeous hi-fi component, and I’d be tempted to buy it based on how it looks on my equipment rack.... I can report that it sounds just as compelling, has plenty of features and is priced almost at a mid-fi level. It’s decidedly NOT mid-fi, since it possesses a transparency and a thorough sense of detail retrieval that reminded me of some of those five-figure all-in-ones I’ve reviewed in the past." - Marc Phillips, ptAudio

The preamplification has switching relays as close as possible 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, handles signals up to 192 kHz at 24 bits. Metal layer resistors and polypropylene capacitors contribute to the quality of restitution of this integrated amplifier. Mounted on large heat sinks, the amplification boards, connected to the output terminals with 4 mm2 (12awg) cross-section cables, have a triple push-pull output per channel, so three pairs of bipolar transistors NJW0281 G and NJW0302G. The X-i1100 can operate at up to 45W in Class A-like mode and switches to Class AB beyond when the "High Bias" switch on the back of the device is activated. The mechanical construction is also meticulous: five compartments forming as many galvanic insulations and contributing to the rigidity of the X-i1100 are integrated into the chassis. Steel frame topped by black aluminum sidewalls and openwork cover ensures optimum ventilation of the X-i1100. DAC BurrBrown PCM1796.
