APEX FROM ADVANCE PARIS 

Advance Paris’ 30th birthday starts with the introduction of a new HiFi range, Apex

The APEX range comprises four models in a limited-edition black finish with high-contrast white VU meters: the A8 APEX, A10 Apex, A12 APEX integrated amplifiers and the ACD Apex CD player. 

Each amplifier uses a hybrid valve/transistor design with improved DAC architecture.

The A8 Apex and A10 Apex use the ESS9018 DAC, while the flagship A12 APEX incorporates the ESS9039 DAC. You get full HDMI eARC compatibility across all models. 

The three Apex amplifiers are also compatible with the new A-BTC Bluetooth dongle.

The ACD Apex CD player completes the range, featuring valve-based analogue outputs in both RCA and XLR configurations.
