Interested in listening to Antipodes.

Is the CX available for sale anywhere?

I've tried to contact Antipodes a couple of times to no avail so far.

The CX will not be available until April/May 2018, exact date not yet known.

ricred1,  Did you receive your DX gen 3?   Any thoughts compared to your DS GT?

I just spent some time reading Antipodes' website (which has recently been significantly overhauled) regarding their current lineup. According to Antipodes, the best in class scenario is buying both the CX and EX, and linking them via ethernet cable, which allows one unit to be the dedicated server (CX) and the other the dedicated renderer (EX). So according to them the sound quality from best to worse is as follows CX+EX>CX>DX>EX. Essentially it appears to be an incrementally decreasing "detail" scale that Antipodes suggests is very noticeable in highly "resolving" systems. They are completely unpacking the DX concept right down to offering the P1, which is a stand alone Antipodes CD ripper. It will be interesting (and possibly alarming) to see the price points on the new CX and EX since Antipodes is clearly aiming for a lineup that has the DX3 as its third lowest price point in a four level price point model.

What’s great about the EX is it has a built in DAC that’s good for PCM and up to 24bit, 192 Khz with analog outputs. A better DAC can be added later, if you wish.

For luddites, like me, it may be the way to go in the future. It can hold all of my CDs and I can add more later. Hmmmm.......

All the best,
