Advance Paris - A-i130 Nova - Integrated Amplifier
Advance Paris A-i130 Nova brings tube character, modern digital processing, and strong Class AB power into one refined integrated amplifier. Its ECC81 tube preamp stage gives the amplifier a warmer, more dimensional presentation, while the Class AB output section and 380VA toroidal transformer provide the control needed for demanding loudspeakers. The result is an amplifier made for listeners who want musical texture without giving up authority, drive, or system flexibility.
The A-i130 Nova also includes the digital tools expected from a modern hi-fi centerpiece. Its ESS9017S DAC operates in Quad mode, supporting PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz and DSD128 through compatible digital inputs. The ADAU1452 4-channel DSP lets the amplifier adjust speakers and subwoofers based on room placement, helping improve bass control and soundstage stability. HDMI eARC adds clean TV integration, while optical, coaxial, USB Audio, RCA line inputs, MM phono, pre-out, record out, dual subwoofer outputs, and a 6.35mm headphone jack give the A-i130 Nova the connection range needed for a serious mixed-source system.
For listeners building a high-performance stereo system around both analog and digital sources, Advance Paris A-i130 Nova offers an impressive mix of power, refinement, and upgrade potential. Optional slots for the A-NTC streaming cartridge and A-BTC Bluetooth dongle allow the amplifier to adapt as system needs change. With 133W per channel at 8ohms, 200W per channel at 4ohms, a tube-based preamp section, and thoughtful control features like the ALPS potentiometer, the A-i130 Nova is built to serve as the heart of a capable and musical hi-fi setup.
