The Advance Paris X-P700 redefines the concept of premium hi-fi preamplifier, offering versatility and sound quality that meets the most demanding needs of modern audiophiles. With its architecture Dual One and two modality operaClass A and Discrete, this stereo preamplifier is positioned as the beating heart of any reference audio system, ensuring crystal-clear reproduction fidelity and total control over any audio source.

The real strength of the X-P700 lies in its circuitry Dual Mono with completely separate and independent channels, powered by two toroidal transformersdali high current. This configuration eliminates any interference between channels, while dedicated PCBs for the analog, digital, power, and preamp stages ensure maximum signal purity. The modaliClass A uses Class A biased double cascaded bipolar transistors for a warm, natural sound, while the modaliDiscrete audio utilizes differential JFET transistors with Class AB bipolar current mirrors for explosive dynamics and absolute control. The Texas Instruments Burr-Brown PCM1796DB DAC supports PCM formats up to 24-bit/192kHz, while the XMOS XU208 asynchronous USB receiver ensures jitter-free digital streaming.

Perfect for complex audio setups, the X-P700 excels in every usage scenario: from playing premium vinyl through its switchable MC/MM phono stage, to streaming hi-res audio from multiple digital sources, to listening through headphones with its dedicated amplifier featuring two independent outputs and customizable gain and impedance adjustment. A switchable tone control preserves signal purity when not needed, while the Loudness function optimizes listening at lower volumes. Compatibility with the optional X-FTB02 or X-FT01 Bluetooth modules adds the convenience of wireless streaming without compromising quality, supporting premium codecs such as aptX HD.

The X-P700's connectivity caters to any setup: 8 analog inputs including balanced XLR and switchable phono, 3 digital inputs with USB, coaxial and dual optical, multiple balanced and unbalanced analog outputs, Hi-Pass Pre Outs for subwoofer integration with selectable 75/150 Hz cuts, and dual Trigger ports for system automation. Direct playback from USB sticks via the Type A port offers instant convenience for high-resolution audio files.

The design reflects Advance Paris's technical excellence: a sturdy steel chassis with a premium black finish and a 10mm thick methacrylate front panel combine elegance and functionality. Every construction detail bears witness to 15 years of French expertise in reference audio, while the included remote control ensures complete and intuitive control. With compact dimensions of 430x120x280mm and a weight of 6,7kg, it integrates seamlessly into any premium hi-fi environment.

Each product is conceived and developed in its Parisian workshops, where traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technologies merge to create audio electronics capable of thrilling even the most sophisticated listeners. The company has always believed that high fidelity should be an accessible pleasure, not an elitist luxury, maintaining exceptional value for money across all market segments. The constant search for innovative solutions has led Advance Paris to patent proprietary technologies that have revolutionized the way we conceive of modern hi-fi amplification.

Advance Paris's distinctive technologies include its revolutionary hybrid amplification, which uses tube preamp stages combined with Class AB power amplifiers, ensuring the characteristic "warm" sound of tubes with the dynamics and control of modern transistors. Proprietary MyConnect technology enables high-resolution wireless streaming, supporting formats up to 24-bit/192kHz and aptX HD Bluetooth connectivity. The French company's integrated amplifiers implement stabilized power supply circuits with Toro transformers.dali oversized, while the speakers use custom transducers developed in collaboration with prestigious European manufacturers.

The Advance Paris product range covers every need of the modern stereo system, from audiophile CD players to integrated amplifiers, from bookshelf speakers to digital streaming sources. Integrated amplifiers are the heart of the production, available in both transistor versions for those who prefer precision and control, and hybrid variants for lovers of tube sound. The /product-category/amplifiers/transistor-integrated-amplifiers/ category includes models such as the X-i75 and X-i125, while the hybrid line is available in the /product-category/amplifiers/tube-integrated-amplifiers/ section with the famous X-A220 and X-A160 models. For audiophiles who prefer separation, the /product-category/amplifiers/pre-power/ range offers reference pre- and power amplifier combinations.

The X Series represents the flagship line, characterized by minimalist design and reference performance. The Xi models include integrated amplifiers from 75 to 160 watts per channel, all equipped with MyConnect technology and multiple digital inputs. The A Series groups together products with hybrid technology, with power outputs from 80 to 220 watts and the option of pure Class A operation for the first watts. The Playstream range is dedicated to digital music enthusiasts, with high-quality network players and DACs available in the /product-category/sources/ category. The Advance Paris speakers, featured in the /product-category/speakers/floorstanding-speakers/ and /product-category/speakers/bookshelf-speakers/ sections, use high-density MDF cabinets and selected transducers to ensure tonal consistency with the in-house electronics.

The range also includes premium CD and SACD players, available in the /product-category/sources/cd-sacd-dvd-players/ category, designed with high-quality transports and tube output stages. For vinyl lovers, Advance Paris offers plug-and-play turntables in the /product-category/sources/turntables/ section, complete with pre-mounted cartridge and integrated MM/MC phono stage.
