Advance Paris WTX‑TUBES – Tube-Driven High‑Definition Bluetooth Receiver

The Advance Paris WTX‑TUBES is a compact yet sophisticated Bluetooth receiver designed to bring vintage tube warmth to modern streaming.

 Sound & Processing

RCA and S/PDIF Output Options: Connect via analog RCA, or digital via optical and coaxial (S/PDIF) to suit your system configuration.

Powered by Wolfson WM8740 DAC (24‑bit/192 kHz) paired with a tri‑core processor (dual‑core 32‑bit + 120 MHz single‑core) that minimizes jitter and ensures precise decoding. 

Class A Tube Output Stage: Utilizes a pair of Raytheon 5730 subminiature tubes in pure Class A configuration, delivering a smooth and natural tonal character with vintage charm. 

 Wireless & Codec Support

Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX / aptX HD / AAC / SBC support — streaming at up to 24‑bit/48 kHz for CD‑quality playback. 

 Physical & Design

Minimalist metal chassis with tinted plexiglass front, showcasing glowing tubes through a small window. 

Top-mounted passive ventilation is critical—tubes generate heat quickly so air circulation should not be blocked. 

Rear antenna connector that rotates and extends to improve Bluetooth reception (range up to ~10 m).
