Setting new standards
With the nuControl X, Nubert's engineers have raised the bar. Streamer, preamp and DAC come together here, but the component is much more than that. With high-end signal processing, a parametric 7-band EQ and incredibly extensive customization options, top sound is guaranteed in every situation. The crowning glory is the advanced "X-Room Calibration Advanced" calibration. Intuitively and without prior knowledge, the nuControl X is perfectly tuned to your own room. Of course, nothing is missing from the interfaces either. In addition to the typical RCA and XLR connections, there is also a sophisticated phono MM/MC stage. AirPlay 2, Roon support and Bluetooth ensure that even streaming enthusiasts have everything they need.
Stereo High End
The nuControl X really comes into its own in a classic stereo setup: Thanks to the generous calibration, the acoustics of the room can be individually adjusted. This allows your music to come into its own.
Upgrade for active sound
The nuControl X can even control active loudspeakers. Via X-Connect, all sound settings are available in high resolution without additional signal conversion. This means that "active" speakers can also be driven for the best possible sound reproduction.
Deep bass perfectly integrated
Even without a subwoofer, the X-Room Calibration Advanced calibration function optimally adjusts the bass and details can be heard precisely. If subwoofers are to be integrated into the speaker setup for even more bass performance, options such as parametric equalizers, time offsets, high and low pass offer precise adjustment.
Wireless makes it flexible
Easy set-up without tangled cables - no problem with the nuControl X. With WLAN, Bluetooth aptX HD/LL as well as AAC and X-Connect, it supports all common wireless standards and thus offers the best possible variability in your room.
Details
High-end preamplifier
Delivering the input signal to the power electronics with absolute signal purity is the top priority for a high-quality preamplifier. With its first-class D/A and A/D conversion, audiophile design and carefully selected components, the nuControl X offers first-class prerequisites for this. A particularly sophisticated tone control is also integrated.
Variety of connections
With numerous digital and analog interfaces, the nuControl X offers enormous flexibility. In addition to conventional RCA connections, XLR and AES/EBU are also available. A PC/Mac or RasPi can be connected directly via USB-B and the preamp also has a phono input (MM/MC) for vinyl enthusiasts.
Flexible networker
The nuControl X is extremely flexible when it comes to networking and streaming. WLAN or cable-based, access to almost all relevant music streaming services, compatibility with Roon and other local servers as well as playback from HDD or USB stick are all included. Galvanic isolation of the network connections ensures perfect sound.
Award-winning design language
The elegant, minimalist design seamlessly continues the line of the nuPower amplifiers. The 1 cm thick front panel and the control knobs are made of glass bead blasted, anodized aluminium. The housing and base are made of solid, brushed and anodized aluminium. The exclusive concept is completed by resonance-absorbing feet.
Noble control from a distance
The nuControl X can also be operated from a distance. The scope of delivery includes an infrared remote control made of fine aluminum in solid quality, which is extremely comfortable to hold. Direct access to sound controls, volume, sources, presets and the menu is quick and convenient.
Touch screen
The high-resolution 4" color display enables intuitive operation directly on the device. With perfect readability in every situation, the display provides the user with all the important information in a clearly arranged manner and accepts commands. The nuControl X app also allows access to all this information and functions from the listening position.
32-bit converter chain
Absolute signal purity is guaranteed by the nuControl X's complete 32-bit signal chain with audiophile ESS 9038 PRO converters. This ensures maximum precision signal processing up to DSD512 and 768kHz/32-bit for the highest demands. Upsampling is freely selectable with the nuControl X preamp.
Maximum signal purity
To guarantee optimum signal purity, the nuControl X has completely separate analog and digital sections. A separate power supply unit also documents this independence. The analog volume control via the digitally controlled Cirrus CS3318 also ensures perfect sound.
Head-Fi
Maximum sound potential and high flexibility go hand in hand with the nuControl X. Headphones can be connected wirelessly via Bluetooth (incl. aptX HD) or wired. Both a 6.3 mm jack connection and a balanced jack connection (4.4 mm) are available for the cable connection. High-quality headphone amplifiers from Texas Instruments are used.
Vinyl expert
No compromises when enjoying vinyl via the nuControl X: thanks to premium phono preamplifiers on a separate circuit board, a sophisticated, shielded audio section and ultra-short signal paths with direct digitization, noise is effectively minimized. Every facet, every nuance of the precious vinyl treasures comes out vividly and clearly.
Room correction 2.0
X-Room Calibration Advanced is an automatic, app-based calibration/room EQ system for iOS and Android devices (for the latter with optional interface) that enables room correction at the highest level. No more booming in the bass/ground tone range, more resolution + dynamics than with the previous system. Control range: -40dB to +18dB at 20 to 300 Hz.
The best for the bass
Low and high-pass filters with variable slope/quality enable seamless adaptation to the front speakers. A frequency response that can be manually optimized via bass EQ to effectively combat room modes is also part of the bass management. Plus 4 separate delay settings for front speakers and subwoofer - for perfect timing.
The sound in your hands
Automatic loudness with aurally accurate sound adjustment, the Nubert sound balance for harmonious acoustic tuning to the listener's taste and a fully parametric EQ for highly detailed adjustment leave nothing to be desired.

Irres Teil...
Nachdem ich mir nach langem sparen und mühsamen suchen eine nuPower A und nuVero170 gebraucht gekauft habe. War nach etwa einem Jahr auch der aktuelle Zuspieler fällig. Hier habe ich nach reiflicher Überlegung nun doch das Geld in Neuware, weil auch gebraucht (noch) nicht verfügbar, in die nuControl X investiert. Grund waren Streaming Features, PhonoAmp, sonstige Eingänge usw + die reichhaltigen Equalizer Features. Nun ist die Zuspielqualität im Streaming oft nicht besonders hochwertig, leider oft aber auch nicht die Aufnahmen aus den 60er-00ern. Mit dem Equalizer und Raumeinmessung sind jedoch (für mich) überragende Ergebnisse erreichbar, die mit dem vorherigen Zuspieler (NAD C390DD) nicht möglich waren. Das Signal über XLR auf die nuPower ist selbst bei hohen Lautstärken perfekt störungsfrei, die Raumeinmessung erledigt einen überraschend guten Job. Und der Klang ist jetzt auf einem perfekten Niveau für alle Bedürfnisse. Selbst schlecht aufgenommene und produzierte Metal Alben aus den "vor 00ern" können aufs beste getrimmt werden und per unterschiedlicher EQ Presets abgerufen werden. Die hardware und der Audio-Output sind überragend... #### Einzige Manko's und Jammern auf hohem Niveau sind: - die fehlende Möglichkeit das System von Netzwerk DHCP auf statisch umzustellen. Falls die IP sich mal ändert, verkraftet die TIDAL Konnektivität das so eher semi. TIDAL aus/einloggen behebt es und die nuControl ist nun DHCP reserviert. - die Fähigkeiten der (iphone design only) App, die Suche in TIDAL ist per se nicht schlecht und vor allem ausreichend flink, die Filterungseben ermöglichen schnellen Zugang über Kreuz zu allen Inhalten (wirklich gut). Aber das kleine iOS native Suchfeld, sowie ein Abbruch bei betätigen der "return taste" sind eher ärgerlich. Hier kann aber Entwicklung in der Software Abhilfe schaffen, daher ist es für mich kein richtiger Negativpunkt. Premium Schmankerl wäre noch eine PC App (Win,Lx,MAC) um das Gerät anzusteuern, analog zu BluOS vom NAD -> aber das ist wirklich maximales Jammern auf hohem Niveau.
