Whether listening to a classic or discovering new melodies, the user will be transported into an exceptional world of sound, rediscovering the pleasure of top-quality listening.
Want to spin a record?
The A8 APEX is compatible with vinyl turntables with MM cells (the most classic). It incorporates an RIAA phono preamplifier, so you can enjoy the full musicality of your vinyl records.
A-BTC compatibility
