XACT S1 EVO – high-precision clocking is the main thing in digital sound
09.10.2022 09:00
Polish High End audio brand XACT has introduced the new XACT S1 EVO audio server, designed for the most demanding audiophiles. With several key enhancements, S1 EVO redefines digital audio playback, offering unprecedented precision and clarity.
The new XACT S1 EVO audio server uses Master’s proprietary OCXO Clock, which delivers exceptional stability and precision, ensuring that every nuance of the music is conveyed with stunning clarity. This clocking functionality is typically found in high-end audio systems, making it a standout feature of the XACT S1 EVO audio server.
Also, one of the key innovations in the S1 EVO is the IMMOTUS feet made of ceramic and aluminum. These feet are designed to effectively isolate sensitive audio components from internal vibrations, providing improved detail and bass accuracy. Thanks to this feature, the S1 EVO not only delivers superior sound quality, but also improves the listening experience due to higher resolution and more precise bass control. The XACT S1 EVO audio server is now available for order on the official XACT Audio website and from authorized retailers. The recommended retail price of the new product is 16 000 euros.
