Streaming that feels immediate and musical

Play begins the moment you connect. X-FTB01 is a compact Bluetooth receiver designed to deliver high quality wireless audio straight into compatible Advance Paris amplifiers via their dedicated Bluetooth Wireless Digital Input. It supports aptX, AAC and SBC codecs, allowing audio from a smartphone, tablet or computer to be transmitted with fidelity comparable to CD quality.

With Bluetooth 4.2 aptX and a maximum resolution of 24 bit 44.1 kHz at a data rate of 576 kbps, the signal remains in the digital domain. Instead of relying on an internal DAC inside the module, X-FTB01 sends the received digital signal directly to your amplifier’s internal converter through a direct SPDIF path. This ensures that the performance of your Advance DAC is fully preserved without compromise.

With extremely low total harmonic distortion of 0.008 percent at 1 kHz, a frequency response of 20 to 20000 Hz within plus minus 0.5 dB, and a dynamic range exceeding 92 dB in 16 bit and 120 dB in 24 bit, the Bluetooth connection remains stable, precise and musically coherent. The result is sound that feels immediate and engaging, with musical textures, rhythmic subtlety and tonal balance that reflect the quality of the original recording.

A philosophy of simple, authentic connection

Advance Paris approaches connectivity with the same intent as their core products. Seamless integration without excess. X-FTB01 is compact and unobtrusive, plugging directly into the Bluetooth Wireless Digital Input of compatible models. It draws power directly from the host device and requires no external adapter.

It does not seek attention for itself but serves the music, allowing you to move from playlists, podcasts and streamed tracks into your hi fi system without interruption. Support for aptX, AAC and SBC ensures broad compatibility with modern devices, while maintaining a clean digital signal path into the heart of your system.

Connectivity for every listening moment

With a wireless range of approximately ten metres indoors and up to fifteen metres outdoors without obstacles, X-FTB01 offers flexibility without sacrificing stability. The module operates on a QCC 3031 processor and supports audio formats including AAC, WAV, FLAC and APE in wireless playback.

Compact and lightweight at approximately 15 grams, and measuring just 29 mm in width, 13 mm in height and 50 mm in installation depth, X-FTB01 integrates discreetly into your system without adding bulk or visual distraction.
