X-Stream 9

Universal Hi-Fi Source
The Advance Paris X-Stream 9 is a versatile universal source designed to bring CD playback, network streaming, digital audio and radio together in a single component. It combines a network player, DAC, CD player and FM/DAB+ tuner, making it an ideal partner for a separate integrated amplifier or preamplifier.

Network Streaming
Built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity provide access to network-based music, streaming services and thousands of internet radio stations. The X-Stream 9 supports services including Spotify and Qobuz, while AirPlay and DLNA compatibility makes it possible to access music stored on compatible computers, network drives and other devices. The Advance PlayStream app provides convenient control from compatible iOS and Android devices.

High-Quality CD Playback
The integrated CD player uses Tamul servo technology, combining a 16-bit processor with a 24-bit DSP for stable and accurate disc playback. It supports CD, CD-R/RW and CD-DA discs containing MP3 or WMA files, providing a straightforward way to enjoy an existing physical music collection alongside modern digital sources.

High-Resolution Digital Audio
The X-Stream 9 features a CS4398 DAC and an asynchronous USB-B X-MOS input for direct connection to a PC or Mac. Its 32-bit, eight-core USB interface supports high-resolution playback up to DSD, while three optical and two coaxial digital inputs allow the X-Stream 9 to operate as a DAC for additional digital sources.

Flexible Connectivity
Both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA stereo outputs are provided for connection to a compatible amplifier, alongside optical and coaxial digital outputs for use with external digital equipment. The output can be configured as either fixed or variable, allowing the X-Stream 9 to be matched to different system configurations. An optional Bluetooth receiver can also be connected through the dedicated BDD port, with aptX support available using the compatible X-FTB01 receiver.

FM & DAB+ Radio
Alongside its network capabilities, the X-Stream 9 includes both FM and DAB/DAB+ tuners, providing access to conventional and digital radio broadcasts. With its combination of physical disc playback, network streaming, computer audio, radio and DAC functionality, the X-Stream 9 provides a comprehensive digital source solution without requiring multiple separate components.
