Our Opinion
The e1X DAC Control Preamp marks entry into our Advanced Integrated Platform that combines our high-resolution DAC, streamer, and phono stage into a single chassis that is designed for music lovers who want an uncomplicated, uncompromised, and exhilarating home audio experience. The e1X sonic characteristic emphasizes realistic and compelling musical expression.
The new e1X line incorporates many ground-breaking designs from the Black series. Each e1X component is designed with great attention to detail, focusing on our unique input approach, DAC core performance and power amplifier technologies that optimize and maintain the purest signal quality. Built in a constrained layer damped chassis with high-grade aluminum defines the simple and elegant look.
The new e1X DAC/Control Preamp, based around our High Dynamic Resolution HDR-II core and high-speed Asynchronous Multi-Input Processor (AMiP) platform is our most versatile DAC preamplifier. Stream music through Ethernet or USB, a full suite of digital inputs, line level inputs, sub output and MM/MC software controlled analog phono stage.
Features include software controlled Trim, Bass EQ, and subwoofer filter management. Roon Ready or DLNA control with Bel Canto SEEK iOS APP to stream Tidal/MQA, Qobuz or your personal library.
SEEK App (iOS)
Note: Android information at the bottom
The Seek iOS App allows you to stream music to your networked Bel Canto Black system, playlist management over servers, create playlists, play MQA, DSD, PCM formats and gives you system volume control all from your iOS smart phone or tablet.
Bel Canto’s Asynchronous Multi input Platform (AMiP) in the Black Series connects (Ethernet and USB-A) to your home Network to stream music using the SEEK App to play from subscription accounts, TIDAL (MQA) Qobuz or becomes a server with a large drive attached to the USB-A eliminating the need for a computer in your system. Control your music with SEEK on your iOS device.
SEEK is about discovering and managing your music easily, something we see as the ultimate pleasure in musical playback. Making the connection to your home network is straight forward and requires only a connection to your router and downloading the APP to your iOS device. Currently SEEK only works with an iOS device.
After downloading, you can use the below guide to use the app:
Network interface device setup and firmware update for renderer
Device information
Timeline and repeat, shuffle options

NOTE:
If you’re an
Android
user, there are various UPnP/DLNA apps that you can use for controlling the renderer including TIDAL streaming.
Mconnect control
will give you the same user experience and features as Bel Canto’s SEEK.
Mconnect control
is needed if there are software-based renderer updates through the Device Setup menu of the app. For another app option,
BubbleUPnP
will also work as well.

Features and specifications are subject to improvements and changes without prior notice.
For those that want all the features and flexibility of the Bel Canto Black components at a more affordable price, the e1X series is a great solution. While lower in price than the Black or Black EX series….make no mistake, these are very high quality components.
Consider this a high-end DAC, preamp, phono stage, headphone amp and network streamer all in one. With capability for Roon, PCM, MQA and DSD, you’re not missing out on anything. Then, with unique features such as bass EQ and bass management, you have another level of functionality you really never see. The cost of those individual components at this sound quality level would end up being more costly and that doesn’t even count all the additional cabling. For high performance, attractive looks and simplicity in a component that’s built to last, this is an outstanding solution.
