Revolution X3 Features

The sound quality is better than ever before at this price point with the Revolution X3. It’s the new midrange model in the Baetis Audio line, and we’ve positioned the Revolution X3 very high up in the bang to buck ratio. Our customers loved the warmer sounding audio chip (codec) of our Reference models, but some needed a more affordable or compact solution. The Revolution X3 shares much in common with our highest end models. With our new components being more power-efficient and cool-running than ever, the Revolution X3 is completely fanless. This allows us to use the larger motherboards with the warmer sounding Reference model’s audio chip in the mid-size case for the first time. With CuPID copper audio and power cabling that is made by Revelation Audio Labs, the sound from the Revolution X3 surpasses that of the Baetis Audio Prodigy range. The Revolution X3 uses the Reference Daughterboard for SPDIF and AES-EBU. Together, these components harmonise to give you a sound quality close to our pricier Reference series.

Other options for audiophile outputs include coaxial (RCA) SPDIF instead of BNC. We can even add one of the following: USB, I2S, or DLNA Network. That means it can connect and synergise with any DAC out there. Video output is beautiful 4K HDR, which is the best integrated graphics in the industry.

You can play native DSD via the optional USB, I2S and network outputs, as well as DoP and PCM through our AES-EBU connection.  MQA is easily handled via Roon or Tidal, and any other streaming service such as Qobuz is a breeze to install. You can control the playback on the Baetis in a number of ways: tablet, phone, from another computer of any flavour, or even via a keyboard and trackpad transmitting directly to the Revolution X3.
