Description

The UX1 is at the same time a network player, a DAC, a CD player, a PC/MAC player via its asynchronous USB-B X-MOS input and a digital DAB/DAB+ and FM tuner.
No matter where your favorite music is stored – on a PC or MAC, smartphone, tablet, network drive, NAS or CD – you can enjoy the highest quality sound.
“Unlimited” has been our philosophy in designing our universal source. Our engineers have integrated the best technologies with the unique condition that the results obtained translate into a soothing listening experience without aggressiveness and total purity.
The audio output stage as well as the decoding part have been particularly taken care of. Signal conversion is handled by the AKM AK4490 converter.

The AK4490 is part of a new generation of high-end 32-bit DACs based on AKM’s VELVET SOUND architecture, which has been widely adopted by established high-end audio companies. This technology allows for high quality sound detail due to its low distortion architecture, in addition to 32-bit resolution digital filter processing.
The AK4490 supports up to 768 kHz PCM and 11.2 MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), suitable for playback of high resolution audio sources. Five digital filters are integrated into the DAC to optimize the sound.
The AK4490EQ is suitable for the conversion of high-resolution sound sources, which the UX1 has mastered.

Associated with our audio stage, this low distortion DAC (-112dB based on a signal to noise ratio of more than 120dB) will increase your listening pleasure tenfold!

The network player part of the UX1 allows you to manage streaming services (Spotify, Qobuz…), several thousands of local, national and worldwide radio stations, and the playback of your music library stored locally on your computer or network drive. Airplay and DLNA compatible.
Control of your network player can be done via the ADVANCE PLAYSTREAM app, which can be downloaded from the AppStore and Google Play.

The UX1 has a CD player integrating the latest generation of Tamul servo ensuring a stable and qualitative reading of your CDs. The solution used combines a 16-bit processor and a 24-bit DSP. It supports CD, CD-R/RW, CD-DA (MP3/WMA) playback.

Our universal source is also equipped with a USB-B X-MOS input for direct connection to your PC or MAC. This 32-bit / 8 core asynchronous “high speed” input allows the playback of all types of files up to DSD.

The UX1 acts as a DAC, it is equipped with 3 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs.
In addition, our player has both balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog stereo outputs as well as two optical and coaxial digital outputs.

The UX1 incorporates a BDD (Bluetooth Direct Digital) port for the connection of our X-FTB 01 digital Bluetooth receiver. This receiver integrates the APTX which ensures a CD quality on all your sources.
