Advance Paris - ACD Apex - CD Player With Dual Analogue Tubes

Advance Paris ACD Apex CD Player is designed as the matching disc source for the Apex integrated amplifier range. Built for listeners who still value a dedicated CD collection, it gives physical media a refined playback path with both analog and digital output options. Its 30th Edition black finish pairs naturally with the A8 Apex, A10 Apex, and A12 Apex amplifiers, creating a clean system look for a modern hi-fi rack.

The ACD Apex uses Raytheon 5744 NOS micro-tubes for its analog outputs, giving both the RCA and balanced XLR connections a warmer, more musical character. A WM8761 DAC handles digital-to-analog conversion, while TOSLINK optical and RCA coaxial outputs allow the player to feed an external DAC or a digital input on a compatible integrated amplifier. The front USB input adds simple playback for MP3 and FLAC files at 16-bit/44kHz, making the ACD Apex more flexible than a basic disc-only source.

For systems centered on the Advance Paris Apex series, the ACD Apex offers a natural companion component with matching design, remote compatibility, and practical connection options. CD-Text support displays artist, album, and song information, while repeat, album repeat, random playback, and time display modes make daily operation straightforward. With tube analog outputs, balanced XLR, RCA, optical, coaxial, and USB playback, the Advance Paris ACD Apex is built for listeners who want classic CD playback with a richer analog presentation.
