Features & Specs
Serious power & control
A robust Class A/B output stage delivers 2×190 W (8 Ω) and 2×280 W (4 Ω), fed by dual 300 VA toroidal transformers in a dual-mono layout for strong dynamics and clean headroom.
Tube-driven musicality
The tube preamplifier adds natural warmth and texture; High-Bias (ON/OFF) engages a Class-A operating window for more refined low-level listening.
One box, all sources
Spin CDs, tune FM/DAB, or stream from the Advance PlayStream app with Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, vTuner and Spotify Connect for effortless, high-quality playback.
Pro-grade digital connectivity
Hook up TVs via HDMI ARC, computers via USB Type-B, and transports via AES/EBU, 3× optical, and 3× coaxial inputs.
Analog made easy
Use balanced XLR and RCA inputs (including Amp-IN), a phono stage supporting MM and MC cartridges, XLR/RCA pre-out, record out, and twin subwoofer outputs to integrate seamlessly with any system.
Whole-room flexibility
Drive three speaker zones (A/B/C), tailor headphones with gain/impedance controls, trigger external gear with dual 12 V outputs, and add Bluetooth (X-FTB01/02) if needed, all over Ethernet/Wi-Fi.

Advance Paris MyConnect 250 | All-in-One Streaming Amp & CD Player (2×190W, HDMI ARC, MM/MC)
The Advance Paris MyConnect 250 is a no-compromise all-in-one streaming amplifier that folds a tube preamp, muscular Class A/B power, CD player, and FM/DAB tuner into one elegant chassis. A dual-mono power supply with two 300 VA toroidal transformers feeds 2×190 W into 8 Ω (2×280 W into 4 Ω) for confident control of real-world speakers, while High-Bias (ON/OFF) lets the output stage operate in a Class-A window at lower levels for richer tone and texture. Connectivity is reference-grade: HDMI ARC for TV, USB-B DAC, AES/EBU, 3× optical / 3× coaxial, balanced XLR + RCA, phono MM/MC, Amp-IN (home-theater bypass style integration), dual sub outs, and three speaker zones (A/B/C). Network features include Spotify Connect plus the Advance PlayStream app for Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, and vTuner—so your discs, radio, vinyl, files, and streams all land in one beautifully voiced hub.
Smart touches elevate day-to-day use: bass management with a switchable 75/150 Hz crossover for one or two subwoofers; gain/impedance controls for the headphone output; and Amp-IN to slot the unit into an existing AVR setup. Whether you’re building a minimalist two-channel rig or replacing a rack of separates, the MyConnect 250 delivers the power, inputs, and polish to anchor a premium system for years.
Why Buy the MyConnect 250:
Serious power, real control: Dual-mono supply with two 300 VA toroids delivers 2×190 W into 8 Ω (2×280 W into 4 Ω) for effortless dynamics.
Tube warmth + Class A finesse: A tube preamp and High-Bias (ON/OFF) mode add natural tone and low-level richness to everyday listening.
All your sources in one chassis: Built-in CD player, FM/DAB tuner, high-res streaming (Spotify Connect + PlayStream: Qobuz/TIDAL/Deezer/vTuner) reduce box count without compromise.
System-friendly flexibility: Three speaker zones (A/B/C), headphone gain/impedance control, and neat home-theater bypass integration make it easy to live with.
What It’s Great At:
TV + Hi-Fi integration: HDMI ARC brings TV audio into a true audiophile rig—no AVR required for 2.0/2.1 setups.
Vinyl playback: Onboard phono stage supports both MM and MC cartridges, so you can plug in a turntable and play.
Streaming made simple: Choose the amp directly in Spotify, or use the PlayStream app for Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, and internet radio.
Subwoofer control: Bass management with switchable 75/150 Hz crossover optimizes one or two subs for tighter, cleaner bass.
Headphone listening: Adjustable gain/impedance lets you match a wide range of headphones without external amps.
Future-proof expandability: Amp-IN (home-theater bypass style) and balanced pre-outs make power-amp upgrades and system growth painless.
Everyday Usability (quick wins):
Quiet nights, rich sound: High-Bias mode keeps low-level listening engaging without cranking the volume.
Three-zone speaker switching: A/B/C outputs let you power speakers in another room or compare pairs instantly.
Clean TV dialogue: ARC + sub crossover control improves clarity and impact for movies and shows.
Optional Bluetooth add-on: Plug in the X-FTB02 module when you want quick guest pairing without opening the app.
