The Advance Paris A-i130 NOVA is a High Fidelity integrated amplifier designed to combine the organic musicality of vacuum tubes with the precision and power of modern amplification. This advanced hybrid amplifier merges an ECC81 tube preamplifier stage, a powerful Class AB amplification section, and sophisticated DSP digital processing, delivering an exceptionally rich, dynamic, and detailed listening experience.
At the heart of the A-i130 NOVA lies its ECC81 tube preamplifier stage, responsible for delivering a warm, expressive sound filled with natural harmonic richness. Vocals gain greater presence, instruments reveal more realistic texture, and the soundstage achieves enhanced depth and three-dimensionality, resulting in a more emotional and immersive listening experience.
To maintain complete control over virtually any loudspeaker, the Class AB power section incorporates a substantial 380 VA toroidal transformer capable of delivering up to 125 W per channel into 8 ohms and 186 W into 4 ohms with extremely low distortion. The result is a powerful, refined, and perfectly controlled performance even with demanding loudspeakers.
The Advance Paris A-i130 NOVA also integrates an advanced 4-channel ADAU1452 DSP system that allows acoustic optimization according to the positioning of speakers and subwoofers within the room. This technology provides a more stable soundstage, tighter bass response, and significantly more accurate acoustic integration.
On the digital side, the amplifier features an ESS Sabre ESS9017S DAC configured in Quad DAC mode, a high-end solution that improves dynamics, reduces noise, and retrieves an impressive level of microdetail. It supports PCM files up to 24-bit/192 kHz as well as DSD64 and DSD128 formats, ensuring an audiophile-grade and highly transparent digital playback experience.
One of the major attractions of the A-i130 NOVA is its modern and versatile connectivity. It includes HDMI eARC, allowing direct connection to modern televisions and enabling high-resolution audio playback from streaming platforms or multichannel content. Volume can also be controlled directly via the TV remote for a far more convenient and intuitive user experience.
The amplifier additionally features a modular architecture prepared for future upgrades. Dedicated expansion slots allow installation of the optional A-BTC bidirectional Bluetooth module or the A-NTC streaming module, enabling the system to evolve with new requirements without replacing the amplifier itself.
Its analog and digital connectivity is exceptionally comprehensive, including multiple optical, coaxial, and USB Audio inputs, an MM phono input for turntables, subwoofer outputs, preamplifier output, and 12V Trigger connections. It also incorporates a high-precision ALPS volume potentiometer that ensures smooth, linear, and extremely accurate volume control.
Aesthetically, the Advance Paris A-i130 NOVA maintains the elegant and robust design language characteristic of the French brand, combining premium finishes with solid and refined construction available in black or grey finishes.
