Like its more sonically sophisticated sibling the X0.2, the X1 will also transparently convert un-balanced to balanced signals, allowing either to be used simultaneously.

The X1 is comprised of two machined metal chassis. The X1 shares the same intuitive four-button remote control and front panel display as the X0.2 and the X2.5.

The patent-pending volume control, designed by Wayne Colburn, defines a new state-of-the-art in concept and design. Essentially a fixed resistor attenuator under digital control, this feature allows for discrete and discriminating volume adjustments across a broad frequency spectrum.

In addition, the X1 offers variable gain settings to further allow the audiophile to best serve the needs of other system components. Gain settings, as well as all other functions, are easily and intuitively adjusted from the remote control handset, smartly displayed on the vacuum fluorescent display panel…
