It plays standard audio CDs, many CD-R discs, and MP3\/FLAC files from a front-panel USB flash drive. What makes it different from a conventional CD player is the tube output stage: two Raytheon 5744 subminiature vacuum tubes in a Class A analog output stage handle both the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raytheon 5744 is a military-specification tube — originally developed for demanding military electronics applications — known for its durability and consistent performance. According to Advance Paris, these tubes impart a warmth and harmonic richness to the CD signal that solid-state output stages typically don’t produce. The result, per the manufacturer, is “warm sound and authentic musicality” from your existing CD library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 30th Anniversary Edition model, finished in exclusive black with matching APEX aesthetics. It was introduced as part of the APEX series launch in late 2025, celebrating three decades of Advance Paris audio engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital and Analog Outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ACD APEX provides both analog and digital outputs simultaneously, giving you maximum flexibility. The balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs both pass through the tube stage. Optical Toslink and coaxial RCA digital outputs are also available, letting you use the ACD APEX as a pure CD transport feeding an external DAC or an amplifier with digital inputs — bypassing the tube output stage entirely if you prefer. According to Vumetre (February 2026), the DAC chip is a Wolfson WM8761, used here specifically for CD playback conversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Integration with APEX Amplifiers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included infrared remote control operates not only the ACD APEX but also the APEX A8, A10, and A12 integrated amplifiers.

The ACD APEX connects via standard balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA to any amplifier or preamplifier. The shared remote operation is specific to the APEX A8, A10, and A12 amplifiers, but the CD player works perfectly with the A10 Classic, A12 Classic, X-P700, X-i75, and any other amp with line-level inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the Raytheon 5744, and why does it matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Raytheon 5744 is a subminiature vacuum tube originally developed to military specifications for reliability in demanding conditions. In audio use, tubes like the 5744 introduce harmonic richness and warmth to an analog signal in a way that solid-state components don’t naturally produce. According to Advance Paris, using two of these tubes in the output stage gives the ACD APEX a more musical, less clinical presentation than a conventional solid-state CD player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I play FLAC files from a USB drive?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The front-panel USB-A input supports MP3 and FLAC files from a flash drive at 16-bit\/44.1kHz resolution, according to All Elite Audio. These files play through the tube output stage just like a disc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the ACD APEX compare to the X-CD7?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe X-CD7 is the Classic-series CD player with a Wolfson WM8761 DAC and solid-state analog outputs. The ACD APEX adds tube output stages (Raytheon 5744 NOS tubes) on both XLR and RCA outputs, and is designed to aesthetically and functionally integrate with the APEX amplifier series via shared remote operation. The ACD APEX is priced higher, reflects the 30th Anniversary positioning, and is for buyers who specifically want the tube output character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ec-titlebox-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f3b5.svg\" alt=\"music note emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e40+ Years of Expertise\u003c\/strong\u003e — Since 1981, we’ve helped over a million music lovers find the right gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/1f504.svg\" alt=\"repeat emoji\" width=\"20\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e60-Day Money-Back Guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e — Take your time.

The high-frequency signal produced is processed by the unique MMM-Conversion stage, used in place of a conventional DAC, to generate the analog output. The MMM-Stream section of the process replaces the oversampling filters normally used in digital to analog conversion and allows the implementation of the Marantz Musical Mastering filtering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eTwo system clocks ensure the most accurate up-conversion of the incoming signal, whether it’s from disc or the digital inputs, ranging from 44.1kHz to 384kHz.

Sigma Delta Modulation allows a pure DSD-standard signal to be passed to the MMM-conversion section in the form of a very high-frequency stream of pulses.
