Advance Paris Smart UX1 - Network Streamer / CD Player / DAC

Smart UX1

The UX1 is a network streamer, a DAC, a CD player, a PC/MAC drive via its X-MOS asynchronous USB-B input, and a DAB/DAB+ and FM digital tuner.

Whatever your favorite music files are - PC or MAC computer, smartphone, tablet, network hard drive, NAS or CD, you will enjoy top-notch sound quality.

"Without limits" was the philosophy behind the design of our universal source. Our engineers have integrated the best technologies with the sole condition that the results obtained translate into a relaxing listening without aggression of total purity.

The audio output stage as well as the decoding part have been particularly well taken care of. The signal conversion is supported by the AK4490 from AKM.

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 delivers high-quality sound details with its low-distortion architecture, as well as digital filter processing with 32-bit resolution.

The AK4490 supports up to 768kHz PCM and 11.2MHz DSD (Direct Stream Digital), suitable for playing high-resolution audio sources. Five digital filters are built into the DAC, thus optimizing sound reproduction.
The AK4490EQ is suitable for converting high-resolution sound sources that the UX1 masters perfectly.
Combined with our low-end audio stage, this low distortion DAC (-112dB based on a signal-to-noise ratio of over 120dB) will increase your listening pleasure!

The network player part of the UX1 allows you to manage streaming services (Spotify, Qobuz ...), several thousand local, national and global radios, playing your music stored locally on your computer or network disk. Compatible with Airplay and DLNA.
Network drive control can be done via the ADVANCE PLAYSTREAM app which can be downloaded from AppStore and Google Play.
