The X-P700 is truly comprehensive: nine analog inputs, one of which is balanced, and an MM/MC phono. On the digital side: two optical inputs, one coaxial input, one USB-B (Xmos) and one USB-A. The DAC is the powerful Burr Brown PCM 1796 -24 bit/192 kHz converter. On the output side, the X-P700 offers an RCA doubled with balanced XLR, plus one high-pass output and two for subwoofers. Headphone enthusiasts are well catered for: two front-mounted inputs (6.35 and 3.5 jacks), plus a double independent input below, with gain settings of +6, 0 or -4 dB and output impedance of 0 or 100 ohms.
The X-P700 is seriously built, starting with the sober 10 mm black methacrylate front panel common to the Classic Line. But the interior is more revealing: two high-capacity toroidal transformers feed the double mono filtered and regulated power supply on the motherboard, which also contains the preamplification stages. The quality of the adjustable MC high- and low-level phono stage, as well as the MM capacity, is remarkable for this budget – hard to imagine anything better.
In short, at the price at which the new X-P700 is offered, it’s hard to beat it. That’s what we wanted from the very start of the development of this new preamplifier. We didn’t skimp on the quality of components, decoding or power supply – the kind of attention that counts when listening.
