X-P700 Pre Amplifier

$2,695.00

he affordable high-end preamp
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). Supreme refinement, it is possible to choose between two output schemes: the class A mode using bipolars in double cascade assembly, close to a tube gradient, and the Discrete Mode, based on a JFet differential and current mirror in the bipolars, polarized in class AB, more traditional. Its design is very sober and refined, a single rotary button is present with a push button to validate the choices: access to the inputs, volume adjustment, bass/treble tones, balance or intensity. The remote control activates these functions remotely.

Description

The X-P700 is really very complete: nine analog inputs including a balanced one, and a MM/MC phono. On the digital side: two optical inputs, a coaxial input, a USB-B (Xmos) and a USB-A. The DAC is the powerful Burr Brown PCM 1796 -24 bit/192 kHz converter. On the output side, the X-P700 offers an RCA doubled by a balanced XLR, plus a high-pass output and two for the subs. Headphone fans are spoiled: two front inputs (6.35 and 3.5 jack) plus below a double independent gain adjustment +6, 0, -4 dB and output impedance 0 or 100 ohms.

The X-P700 is very seriously built, starting with the sober 10 mm black methacrylate front panel, common to the Classic Line. But the inside is more revealing: two high-capacity toroidal transformers feed dual mono power supplies filtered and regulated on the motherboard, also containing the preamp stages. The quality of the adjustable MC high and low level phono stage, as well as the MM capacity is remarkable for this budget, hard to imagine better.

In short, at the price of the new X-P700, it’s hard to do better. That’s what we wanted from the beginning of the development of this new preamplifier. We didn’t skimp on the quality of the components, the decoding or the power supply, the kind of attention that counts when listening.

The X-P700 is the ideal preamplifier, it can be combined with our range of power amplifiers such as the famous X-A160 (or EVO), X-A220 (or EVO), BX2 or the new X-A600 or any other audiophile quality power amplifier. Enjoy listening. Discover!
