Antipodes Audio EX Summary

Antipodes EX is an evolution of the Antipodes EDGE, but with features from the flagship DX. The EX uses the same V4X circuit for signal handling used in the DX but with a single internal ODAPS2 power supply whilst the DX incorporates dual internal ODAPS1 power supplies, providing greater separation of the server and renderer functions

The EX uses a half-width form factor case and offers user-installable storage. It has four internal chambers, separating wiring and switches, power supply, storage disks and signal handling. The EX is the first Antipodes music server to use the newly developed ODAPS2 power supply technology, which reduces high frequency noise without resorting to the filtering that otherwise impedes the speed of current delivery needed in a music server.

The EX is a superb renderer. Its full potential is delivered when it is performing just the renderer function and receiving an input signal. from an external server. Used on its own the EX is a stunning value entry model to the Antipodes X-Series. Upgrading it with a CX to the CX+EX solution, (with the CX performing the server function) lifts performance to 'state of the art'

Owners of an EX can use any USB ripper to auto-rip their CDs, or add the new P1 platform, with integrated high precision ripper. The EX can be ordered with upto 8TB of HDD internal storage, or users can self-install up to 4TB of HDD or up to 8TB of SSD storage for their music files. Use of SSDs dramatically improves sound quality.

The EX also incorporates a high-quality stereo analog output offering playback to 24 bit, 192kHz. Customers moving from a CD Player can start with the EX playing direct to their amplifier, then add a high-quality USB DAC later. This is an inexpensive way to reveal the benefits of getting the digital part right.

You can further improve performance by seperating the Server and Render functions onto different devices by adding a Antipodes CX later, to become the CX+EX solution. This acheives higher sound quality.

In early 2019 the P2 will offer additional features to either a CX or EX. The P1 and P2 platforms are machined from a thick block of alloy to provide vibration isolation when placed under an EX or CX.
