It lets you play music from your phone, tablet, or laptop on your home speakers — no wires between your device and the receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost Bluetooth receivers just focus on being easy. The WTX-1100 focuses on sound quality. It uses aptX HD, which sends music at 24-bit quality — the same as hi-res music files. Inside, a Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC turns the digital signal into analog sound. A tri-core processor cleans up timing errors before the signal reaches the DAC. The result is better-sounding wireless music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WTX-1100 replaces the older WTX-1000. The new model adds aptX HD (the WTX-1000 only had standard aptX). It also has a better DAC and a sturdier aluminum case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Gets the Most Out of Bluetooth\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth used to mean lower sound quality. Two things have changed that: better codecs and better processing. The WTX-1100 uses both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eaptX HD codec.\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Bluetooth (SBC) strips a lot of detail from your music. aptX HD keeps much more. It streams at 24-bit\/48kHz — the same bit depth used in hi-res downloads. The WTX-1100 also supports standard aptX (CD quality at 16-bit\/44.1kHz), AAC (for iPhones), and SBC. So it works with every Bluetooth device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTri-core processor.\u003c\/strong\u003e Jitter means tiny timing errors in digital audio. Even small jitter can make music sound harsh or blurry. The WTX-1100 has a tri-core processor — a 32-bit dual-core plus a 120 MHz single-core. These fix the timing before audio reaches the DAC. This keeps your music clean and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirrus Logic CS4344 DAC.\u003c\/strong\u003e A DAC is the part that turns digital music into analog sound. Many Bluetooth receivers just use the basic DAC inside the Bluetooth chip. Advance Paris uses a separate one — the Cirrus Logic CS4344. It’s a 24-bit\/192kHz converter picked for better sound. Using a dedicated DAC is a key reason the WTX-1100 sounds as good as it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree output options.\u003c\/strong\u003e The WTX-1100 has three ways to connect to your system. Stereo RCA analog output for any amp with a line-level input. Optical Toslink digital output for feeding an external DAC. Coaxial RCA digital output for the same job using a coaxial cable. Having all three means it fits almost any setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This Best For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want to stream music from your phone to your hi-fi, and you care about how it sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You have an Android phone with aptX HD and want a receiver that can use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/17.0.2\/svg\/2714.svg\" alt=\"✔\" width=\"15\"\u003e You want to use your own DAC.

Find it in your phone’s Bluetooth list and tap to connect. The WTX-1100 remembers up to 8 paired devices. You don’t have to pair them again each time. Only one device plays at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit comes with a power adapter and an external antenna for better Bluetooth range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- SECTION 3H: WHAT'S IN THE BOX --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat’s in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvance Paris WTX-1100 Bluetooth receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal Bluetooth antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: RCA cables and digital cables are not included.

Standard aptX streams at 16-bit\/44.1kHz — about the same as a CD. aptX HD streams at 24-bit\/48kHz, which is hi-res quality. That means more detail in your music. Your phone needs to support aptX HD too. Most newer Android phones do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the WTX-1100 work with my iPhone?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. iPhones use AAC for Bluetooth, and the WTX-1100 supports AAC. You won’t get aptX HD quality from an iPhone, but AAC still sounds good. For the best quality, use an Android phone with aptX HD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I get the best sound from the WTX-1100?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a phone that supports aptX HD. Play music from a hi-res service like Tidal or Qobuz. Connect to your amp with the RCA output. If you have a better external DAC, use the optical or coaxial output instead. Your amp and speakers matter too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use more than one output at the same time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The RCA analog output, optical Toslink, and coaxial RCA all work at the same time. This is handy for comparing your external DAC to the built-in one, or for feeding two devices at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the WTX-1100 compare to the WTX-Tubes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth use aptX HD, Bluetooth 5.0, and the same output types. The difference is the output stage. The WTX-1100 uses a Cirrus Logic CS4344 DAC for clean, neutral sound. The WTX-Tubes adds two vacuum tubes in a Class A circuit for a warmer, softer sound. Pick the WTX-1100 for accuracy. Pick the WTX-Tubes for warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill there be a delay when watching video?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor music, you won’t notice any delay. For video, there can be a small gap between the picture and the sound. aptX has about 70ms of delay. aptX HD has about 130ms. Most phones adjust for this on their own. If you use the WTX-1100 mainly for music, this won’t matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many devices can it remember?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 8.
