The X-i1100 from Advance Paris is an integrated amplifier designed for demanding music enthusiasts. It features several technical specifications and optimized modules for excellent sound quality.

Includes:

• Six inputs, including phono with moving magnet, analog and digital CD, tuner, and two auxiliary.
• As well as three digital inputs: USB, AES, and six S/PDIF, four of which are optical.
• An analog recording output and a pre-amplified output for connecting an additional power unit.

The X-i1100 can power any type of passive speakers with 220W per channel at 8Ω (400W at 4Ω!), using a 700VA toroidal transformer and 60000uF capacitance.

The pre-amplification is done through switching relays close to the inputs, and the DAC features two digital signal receivers: an X-Mos processor and a USB3318 for the USB input, as well as Cirrus Logic CS8416 for the other inputs. The chosen converter, Burr Brown PCM1796, handles signals up to 192 kHz at 24 bits.

The X-i1100 can operate up to 45W in a mode similar to Class A and switch to Class AB when the "High Bias" switch is activated.

The mechanical construction is also meticulous, with five sections creating galvanic isolations and contributing to the rigidity of the device, ensuring the best cooling for the X-i1100.
