The MyConnect 250 is the kind of gear that makes you forget you were ever shopping for components—because it simply handles everything, elegantly. Advance Paris routes every source through a tube preamplifier stage before handing off to a muscular Class A/B section fed by twin 300 VA toroidal transformers; the result is 190 watts per side that never sounds clinical. Vinyl arrives with full MM/MC phono latitude, the CD drawer spins with quiet authority, and the network stack—Qobuz, TIDAL, Deezer, Spotify Connect—responds as though it belongs. HDMI ARC pulls your TV into the same musical chain. Three speaker zones let the sound follow you. This is French pragmatism applied to hi-fi: a single chassis that lets you stop managing your system and start listening to it.

Liner Notes
The products in Advance Paris' MyConnect range are made for music enthusiasts who don't want to fill their living room with electronics.
There is a lot to be said for MyConnect 250 connectivity… From HDMI to Phono (MM/MC), analog RCA to AES-EBU, computer USB to multiple optical and coaxial inputs, 3 speaker zones, network (Wi-Fi / Ethernet) and Bluetooth (optional with X-FTB01 / X-FTB02). Of course, it cannot be a MyConnect product if it does not include a CD player and FM/DAB tuner.
Using the Advance PlayStream app (available for iOS and Android devices), you can stream Qobuz, Tidal, Deezer, Vtuner for internet radio and more. Since MyConnect 250 is compatible with Spotify Connect, you can stream music directly from the Spotify app.
Once all that music is inside the MyConnect 250, it's nicely processed by the tube preamp just before entering the solid state amplifier stages. Great sound quality starts with clean power. The MyConnect 250 will control virtually any speaker thanks to its 2 toroidal transformers located on each side of the product. With 190W per channel in Class A/B, you can choose any loudspeaker, from bookshelf to large floor standing. Pre-outs are available in a choice of balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) connectors. Up to 2 Subwoofers are easily incorporated and equipped with variable crossover selections.
