Advance Paris WTX-StreamTubes network streamer

Various prototypes and listening sessions led to a design in which the famous Raytheon 5703 vacuum tubes are used in a Class A setup in the analogue output stage, right after the D/A converter and before the analogue output. The tubes are mounted in insulating holders to suppress microphonic effects and ensure a constant temperature. The analogue output can be connected with an RCA/cinch cable to an analogue input (Line In or AUX) on an amplifier or receiver.

The D/A converter is the Burr Brown PCM1796, which handles high-resolution files up to 24bit/192kHz, far beyond the resolution of CDs. All relevant audio formats can be played.

You can play your own music from your NAS, PC or Mac and enjoy well-known streaming services such as Spotify Connect (Premium), Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music, Napster, iHeartradio, etc. In addition, tens of thousands of internet radio stations are at your disposal via the TuneIn service. Create your own playlists, and more.

Operation is easy via the Advance Playstream app for smartphones and tablets. The apps are available free of charge in the Android and Apple stores. A practical IR remote control is also included.

The firmware of the WTX-StreamTubes stays up to date. Updates, for example with new services or functions, are announced automatically when available and can be installed immediately with a single tap. Updated apps will also be offered automatically. Everything fast and super easy.

Enjoy music everywhere! By using Advance Playstream products (e.g. the X-Stream 9, Playstream A5/7, MyConnect models and WTX-Microstream) or "AirPlay" products in several rooms, you can play music simultaneously and in sync in different rooms (so-called party mode). In addition, everyone in the house can choose their own music in these rooms from a streaming service, NAS, computer or radio.

The WTX-StreamTubes can be connected via its analogue output directly to a device's Aux or Line input (cinch/RCA L/R). In addition, you have two digital outputs for connecting the WTX-StreamTubes to an external D/A converter or an amplifier with a built-in D/A converter, should you want to take sound quality to an even higher level.
