Advance Paris X-P700 — The Affordable High-End Preamplifier

Succeeding the X-P500, the X-P700 offers technical refinements rarely encountered in this range. Dual mono design and the most direct signal processing possible (Direct Path) combine with supreme refinement—choose between two output schemes: class A mode using bipolars in double cascade assembly (close to a tube gradient), or discrete mode based on a JFet differential and current mirror in bipolar, polarized in class AB. Exceptional value meets uncompromising performance.

🎛️ Dual Mono Design with Direct Path

The X-P700 features dual mono architecture with the most direct signal processing possible. Choose between Class A mode using bipolars in double cascade assembly (close to a tube gradient) or discrete mode based on JFet differential and current mirror in bipolar, polarized in class AB for more traditional sound.

Supreme refinement with selectable output schemes to match your sonic preferences and system requirements.

🔌 Exceptional Connectivity

Versatile and flexible: nine analog inputs (one balanced XLR) plus one MM/MC phono input with adjustable gain (48dB/64dB). Digital inputs include two optical, one coaxial, USB-B (Xmos), and USB-A. The powerful Burr Brown PCM 1796 DAC delivers 24-bit/192kHz conversion.

Connect any source—analog or digital—with professional-grade conversion and pristine signal integrity.

🎧 Headphone Enthusiast's Dream

Headphone enthusiasts are pampered with two front panel jacks (6.35mm and 3.5mm) plus double independent gain adjustment (+6, 0, -4 dB) and selectable output impedance (0 or 100 ohms) for each headphone jack.

Perfectly match any headphone impedance and sensitivity for optimal performance and sound quality.

⚡ Dual Toroidal Power Supply

Built for performance with two high-capacity toroidal transformers feeding filtered and regulated dual-mono power to the motherboard and preamp stages. This robust power delivery ensures clean, stable operation even during demanding musical passages.

No compromises on power supply design—the foundation of exceptional audio performance.

🎚️ Flexible Output Configuration

The X-P700 offers full-range unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs, plus a high-pass output and two sub-outs with selectable crossover frequency. Perfect for building a complete system with subwoofers or bi-amping configurations.

Maximum flexibility for any system configuration from stereo to multi-channel with subwoofer integration.

💎 Exceptional Phono Stage

The quality of the adjustable MC high and low level phono stage (48dB/64dB), as well as the MM capacity, is unusual for this category. Vinyl enthusiasts will appreciate the attention to detail in the phono section.

Phono performance that rivals dedicated phono preamps costing significantly more.

🎨 Refined Design & Control

Design is straightforward and refined: a single rotary knob with push-button validation provides access to inputs, volume adjustment, bass and treble adjustment (with bypass option), balance, and loudness compensation. The 10mm black methacrylate front panel is common to the Classic Line.

All adjustments available from the supplied remote control for convenient operation from your listening position.
