ADVANCE PARIS X-CD9 Review – Valve CD Player Under £1k (Wolfson DAC Surprise)

Is the CD player making a comeback? In this review, Paul Rigby takes a close look at the Advance Paris X-CD9, a full-width but low-profile CD player featuring Raytheon 5744 valves, a Wolfson WM8762 DAC, and balanced XLR outputs. The X-CD9 mixes old-school valve technology with digital playback in an attempt to smooth treble, add midrange emotion and reduce digital glare. But does it work? In this video I test the X-CD9 in single-ended and balanced modes, comparing its sound to my Audiolab 6000CDT transport and Benchmark DAC combination costing over £2,500. Topics covered include: • valve buffer stage design • Wolfson DAC sound character • balanced vs single-ended output performance • stereo imaging and midrange presentation • comparison with high-end transport + DAC systems Can a sub-£1,000 CD player compete with expensive digital separates?
