Advance Paris X-D500 CD Transport

Advance Paris X‑D500 Classic CD Transport – Pure Digital Precision

The Advance Paris X‑D500 is a high-end CD transport meticulously engineered to extract the cleanest digital signal from your CD—and nothing else. By outsourcing digital-to-analog conversion to your separate DAC or receiver, it ensures uncompromised clarity and accuracy.

 Unmatched Signal Integrity

Oversampling up to 24‑bit/96 kHz or 24‑bit/192 kHz elevates standard CD audio for greater resolution and nuance during playback. 

No built-in DAC—maintains a pure digital pathway to preserve detail and prevent internal interference. 

 Stable Power & Low Vibration Design

Dual toroidal transformers isolate power delivery to mechanical and laser systems, dramatically reducing electrical noise. 

Compartmentalized chassis keeps each circuit in its own shielded section, minimizing resonance and crosstalk. 

Encased, centre-mounted CD disc assembly lowers center of gravity for smoother, quieter spinning. 

 Full Digital Connectivity

AES/EBU (XLR), Coaxial (RCA), and Optical (TOSLINK) outputs provide maximum flexibility in hooking up your preferred external DAC or amplifier. 

12V trigger input allows for synchronized power control with other components. 

 Practical Features & Eco Design

Standby power consumption under 0.5 W and max consumption around 16 W, making it energy-efficient. 

Remote control included for effortless operation from your listening position. P
