Advance Paris MyConnect 250 All-in-One HiFi System

The Advance Paris MyConnect 250 is built for the music lover who wants a serious high-end audio system without filling the room with separate components.

Inside a single chassis, Advance Paris combines a powerful 190-watt-per-channel hybrid integrated amplifier, tube preamplifier, network music streamer, CD player, FM/DAB tuner, high-resolution DAC, MM/MC phono stage, HDMI connectivity and multi-zone speaker control.

Add your choice of loudspeakers and the MyConnect 250 can become the centerpiece of an exceptionally capable two-channel system.

Tube Preamplification + 190 Watts Per Channel

The MyConnect 250 uses tubes in its preamplifier stage before passing the signal to a powerful solid-state Class A/B amplifier.

It's a hybrid approach designed to combine the musical character of tube preamplification with the control and power of solid-state amplification.

Power output is substantial:

• 190 watts per channel into 8Ω
• 280 watts per channel into 4Ω

Two toroidal transformers provide the power supply foundation, giving the MyConnect 250 the ability to drive everything from compact bookshelf speakers to demanding full-range floorstanding loudspeakers.

Built-In Network Music Streaming

You don't need to add a separate network streamer.

Connect the MyConnect 250 to your network through Wi-Fi or Ethernet and use the Advance PlayStream app to access streaming services including:

• Qobuz
• TIDAL
• Deezer
• Internet Radio
• Spotify Connect

Spotify Connect allows the MyConnect 250 to be selected directly as the playback device from within the Spotify app.

CD Player & FM/DAB Radio

Have a CD collection? The MyConnect 250 has you covered.

A CD player is built directly into the chassis, eliminating the need for another separate component.

Advance Paris also includes both FM analog and DAB digital radio tuners, making the MyConnect 250 a genuinely complete music source rather than simply an amplifier with streaming added.

MM & MC Phono Stage

Vinyl gets equally serious treatment.

The MyConnect 250 includes a phono stage with settings for:

• Moving Magnet (MM)
• Low-output Moving Coil (MC)
• High-output Moving Coil (MC)

That makes the MyConnect 250 compatible with an unusually broad range of turntables and cartridges without automatically requiring an external phono preamplifier.

PCM1796 DAC & Extensive Digital Connectivity

Digital audio is processed through the MyConnect 250's PCM1796 DAC.

The extensive digital connectivity allows you to bring together a wide range of sources, including:

• HDMI
• AES/EBU
• USB Audio from a computer
• Optical digital sources
• Coaxial digital sources
• Network streaming
• Optional Bluetooth

That makes it easy to integrate a television, computer, streamer or other digital source into the same two-channel system.

Up to Three Speaker Zones

The MyConnect 250 can operate up to three speaker zones, giving it considerably more flexibility than a conventional integrated amplifier.

It also provides both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA preamp outputs, allowing the system to expand with external amplification if desired.

For listeners who want more low-frequency performance, two subwoofer outputs are provided with variable crossover settings for proper integration.

One Component. A Complete HiFi System.

The real appeal of the MyConnect 250 isn't any single feature. It's how much of a traditional HiFi system Advance Paris has managed to put into one component.

Vinyl? Connect a turntable.

Streaming? It's built in.

CD collection? There's a player onboard.

Radio? FM and DAB are included.

TV or digital sources? Connect them directly.

And behind all of it is a hybrid amplifier delivering enough power to drive a serious pair of loudspeakers.

For someone who wants high-performance two-channel audio without building a rack full of electronics, the MyConnect 250 makes a lot of sense.
