The higher-end A-i190 adds a dual-mono architecture, balanced XLR connections and a more advanced phono stage, positioning it for premium system builds.<\/p>\n<p>What sets NOVA apart is its modular approach. Rather than bundling streaming and wireless features as standard, Advance Paris offers optional add-ons. The A-NTC streaming cartridge enables support for Spotify Connect, TIDAL, Qobuz, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast at up to 24-bit\/192kHz, while the A-BTC Bluetooth module adds bi-directional wireless audio with aptX HD, Adaptive and Low Latency support.<\/p>\n<p>A tactile A-RTR rotary remote completes the ecosystem, offering physical control via a metal dial \u2013 an increasingly rare feature in app-driven audio systems.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium_large wp-image-284224\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/advance-paris-news-4.2026-768x417.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"417\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>Pricing places the NOVA range firmly in the premium category, with the A-i130 and A-i190 expected to land around A$8,000 and A$10,000 respectively when they arrive globally in May.<\/p>\n<p>While the modular design offers flexibility and future-proofing, it also raises questions in a market where many competing amplifiers include streaming as standard at similar price points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French audio brand Advance Paris has launched its new flagship NOVA range, introducing a modular hi-fi ecosystem that&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":594719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-594718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=594718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/594718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/594719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=594718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=594718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=594718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
