Advanced Series: A Complete Desktop Audio System

Revolutionizing the Way We Experience Music

The Advanced series is a groundbreaking desktop audio system designed by IL WON LEE that combines functionality, elegance, and innovation. With its sleek design and advanced features, this audio system is set to redefine the way we enjoy music.

The Advanced series is a comprehensive audio system that includes a server, a digital to digital converter, a combined DAC and headphone amplifier, and a battery power supply, all housed in a single chassis. What sets this system apart is its attention to detail, from the simplified appearance to the round body lines and round cutting front panel edges. The two-tone color chassis and classy air bent holes add a touch of sophistication to the design.

The Advanced series utilizes black colored anodizing extruded aluminum bodies and a white colored anodizing aluminum front panel. The black and white body colors are achieved through a special gloss control, creating a harmonious and classy appearance. The gorgeous edge line on the front panel is made possible by CNC manufacturing, showcasing the precision and craftsmanship behind this design.

Each device in the Advanced series is the same dimension, measuring 105mm × 53mm x 150mm. These devices incorporate various technologies that support the newest features of a network audio system, such as high sampling rate music file playback and support for various lossless audio file formats. Additionally, USB audio interface and clean battery power controlling are available, ensuring a seamless and high-quality audio experience.

Operating the Advanced series is simple. Just connect each device using audio signal cables, wall adaptors, and network cables, and establish a home local network connection. Then, use the remote control app on your smart devices or personal computer to browse and play music effortlessly.

The Advanced series project started in 2010 in Korea and was finalized in July 2014. Since then, it has been exhibited and demonstrated at numerous audio shows worldwide, including CES, Munich High-End, and SIAS. The design was meticulously researched, with IL WON LEE delving into audio products, consumer electronics, cars, and various accessories to create a truly exceptional audio system.

Designing the Advanced series came with its fair share of challenges. The designer aimed to create a unit that was not only visually appealing but also affordable. The positioning of each element on the front and rear plates was crucial to achieve a classy appearance. Through perseverance and creativity, IL WON LEE overcame these challenges and brought the Advanced series to life.

The Advanced series has received widespread recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Advanced series stands out for its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its users.

The Advanced series is a testament to IL WON LEE's passion for audio design and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation. With its exceptional features and elegant design, this desktop audio system is set to revolutionize the way we experience music.
