Advance Paris - X-Stream 9 - Universal Source
Advance Paris X-Stream 9 is a universal connected source designed for systems that need one component to handle streaming, disc playback, radio, DAC duties, and computer audio. It combines a network player, CD player, USB-B X-MOS input for PC and Mac, DAB/DAB+ tuner, FM tuner, and standalone DAC capability in a single full-width chassis. The X-Stream 9 gives listeners a practical way to connect modern digital sources while keeping physical media and radio playback available in the same system.
The network section supports playback through the Advance PlayStream app, with access to streaming services, internet radio, and locally stored music from a computer, network drive, or NAS. AirPlay and DLNA compatibility make it flexible for mixed-device households, while Spotify Connect allows direct playback control from the Spotify app. The built-in CD player uses Tamul servo technology with a 16-bit processor and 24-bit DSP, supporting CD, CD-R/RW, CD-DA, MP3, and WMA playback. Its asynchronous USB-B X-MOS input allows direct PC or Mac connection and supports playback up to DSD.
For system integration, the X-Stream 9 includes 3 optical and 2 coaxial digital inputs, allowing it to function as a DAC for additional digital sources. Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analog outputs provide connection options for integrated amplifiers, preamps, or powered systems, while optical and coaxial digital outputs allow use with an external DAC. With variable or fixed output operation, FM and DAB/DAB+ radio, optional X-FTB01 Bluetooth support, and a CS4398 DAC, the Advance Paris X-Stream 9 is a flexible source component for a modern hi-fi setup.
