On top of that, the sound character can be switched: Class A with a bipolar double cascade sounds flowing and refined, the JFET-based Class AB mode precise and neutral. Switching happens in the menu – depending on the music and your mood. The portal hifitest.de tested the X-P700 in 2022 together with the X-CD 1000 EVO CD player and the X-A600 power amp and placed it in the top class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeadphone listeners are taken seriously here too: two jacks on the front at 6.3 and 3.5 millimetres, adjustable gain (+6\/0\/−4 dB) and selectable output impedance (0 or 100 ohms). That lets the X-P700 play just as cleanly with sensitive in-ears as with high-impedance over-ears – a feature set that's rare in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNine analogue inputs, one of them balanced via XLR, including a phono stage for MM and MC. Digitally, there are two optical, one coaxial, one asynchronous USB-B input with XMOS technology, and a USB-A port; conversion is handled by a Burr Brown PCM1796 up to 24 bit\/192 kHz. On the output side there's pre-out in RCA and XLR, a high-pass output, and two subwoofer outputs with a selectable crossover frequency – ideal if you want a subwoofer to take the load off your main speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the X-P700 suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone building a separate chain who doesn't want to buy phono, DAC and headphone output separately. And for 2.1 fans, for whom the subwoofer outputs with high-pass filter save a lot of tinkering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be clear, who it's not for: without a power amp or active speakers, the X-P700 stays silent – it's a pure preamp. If you want everything in one chassis, take a look at our \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/vollverstarker\"\u003eintegrated amplifiers\u003c\/a\u003e instead. And if you want to hear DSD files in native resolution, you need a different \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/dac\"\u003econverter\u003c\/a\u003e: the X-P700 processes PCM up to 24 bit\/192 kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-P700 is the sensible door into the preamp\/power-amp world: dual-mono construction, a complete phono stage, a genuine DAC, and headphone comfort – all standard, none of it a paid extra. Which power amp makes the most sense alongside it depends on your speakers.

Sensitivity for MM sits at 2.5 mV. For most systems, that makes an external phono stage unnecessary; we're happy to tell you which setting suits your cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I connect headphones to the X-P700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. There are two jacks on the front at 6.3 and 3.5 millimetres. Gain can be set in three steps (+6\/0\/−4 dB), and output impedance chosen between 0 and 100 ohms. That lets the X-P700 harmonise with almost anything, from sensitive in-ears to power-hungry over-ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the point of choosing between Class A and Class AB?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo sound characters in one device: the Class A mode with a bipolar double cascade sounds flowing and refined, the JFET-based Class AB mode precise and neutral. Switching is done conveniently in the menu, with no cable changes. Which mode you prefer depends heavily on your speakers and the music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich power amp suits the X-P700?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdvance Paris recommends its own power amps – the X-A160 EVO, X-A220 EVO or X-A600 – matching visually and electrically as if cut from the same cloth. Thanks to RCA and XLR outputs, though, the X-P700 harmonises with practically any power amp and with active speakers. We're happy to advise you on the right combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Advance Paris X-P700 from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause a preamp only convinces in how it plays together: power amp, speakers, turntable, room.
