XACT has unveiled what they describe as ‘revolutionary’ products: the XACT S1 EVO Music Server and the PHANTOM cables.
Both the new XACT S1 EVO Music Server and their equally new cables are – according to the manufacturer – aimed at the most demanding audiophiles, offering exceptional sound quality through advanced technology, precise craftsmanship, and innovative design.
XACT S1 EVO Music Server
’The XACT S1 EVO represents an evolution in digital music servers, designed specifically to provide listeners with an unparalleled audio experience. With several key enhancements, the S1 EVO redefines digital playback by delivering unprecedented precision and clarity’, we read in the announcement of the newborns.
Here are the main features, as enthusiastically described by the manufacturer:
- Master OCXO Clock
The newly developed internal Master OCXO Clock is a breakthrough in digital audio, offering extraordinary stability and accuracy. This captures every detail of the music with stunning clarity, a feature usually reserved for high-end audio systems, making it a standout feature of the S1 EVO. - PHANTOM Music Drive Cable
Using the same high-quality materials and precise finish as the XACT PHANTOM USB and LAN cables, the PHANTOM Music Drive Cable minimizes signal interference, ensuring audio signal integrity. This results in an immersive listening experience that brings out the full depth and richness of the music. - IMMOTUS Mechanical Isolation
A key innovation in the S1 EVO is the IMMOTUS ceramic-aluminum isolation feet. Those are designed to channel internal vibrations away from sensitive audio components, enhancing detail and bass precision. This feature not only delivers superior sound quality but also enriches the listening experience with deeper resolution and tighter bass control.
XACT PHANTOM USB and LAN Cables
Alongside the S1 EVO, XACT Audio is also launching its flagship XACT PHANTOM USB and LAN cables. Each cable is handcrafted, taking over 7 hours to produce, and features high-purity copper conductors and custom-made connectors. Key features include:
- PHANTOM USB Cable
Equipped with specially designed aluminum connectors for secure and stable connections, the PHANTOM USB cable offers exceptional clarity and tonal balance. - PHANTOM LAN Cable
featuring MFP8 IE GOLD RJ45 connectors from Telegaertner, used in the International Space Station, the PHANTOM LAN cable ensures flawless signal integrity for audiophile-quality network performance.
