About Advance Paris WTX-StreamTubes Multiroom Streamer
Network player with digital and analog tube outputs
THE ART OF STREAMING
What could be more enjoyable than the sound of vinyl?
This ability to make the music livelier, less aggressive and really “warmer”.
We sought to obtain this sound from current dematerialized sources. After various prototypes, it turned out that using 5703 subminiature tubes was the perfect solution, so we designed a Class A tube output stage that brought the “magic” of vinyl.
Achieving this result seemed possible to us by combining several technologies and designs. That’s what we did !
Features:
- Tube analogue outputs
- Coax and optical digital outputs
- Optional Bluetooth receiver (X-FTB01 or X-FTB02)
