Advance Paris ACD APEX CD Player

Available from January 2026

The ACD APEX is the perfect partner for the new APEX integrated amplifiers and your CD collection. 
It incorporates micro-tubes to give the analogue outputs (RCA and XLR) all the musicality of the original recordings. 
There are also optical and coaxial digital outputs if you want to convert the digital signal directly into your integrated amplifier.
