T+A Elektroakustik PSD 3100 HV Preamplifier / Streamer / DAC

A high-end DAC that can be connected straight to power amps or active speakers. Has one RCA analog in, and RCA and XLR analog out, along with various digital inputs.

T+A takes its most sophisticated streaming circuits and DAC, and leaves out the disc transport, but leaves in a preamp stage. This means you can use it to control volume, and it has one RCA analog input. It will drive a power amp via either an RCA out or XLR out.

The DAC natively processes DSD using a unique analog true 1-bit DSD converter. PCM signals are converted using T+A’s outstanding double differential quadruple converter.

Various music sources are available, including Internet radio, UPnP servers, USB Master Mode, and HD streaming. The tuner offers FM, FM-HD and DAB+ capability. The MP 3100 HV also includes a high-quality Bluetooth streaming module for transferring music from mobile devices. Control is via the F 3100 IR remote control handset or the T+A MusicNavigator App.

Top-Class Preamp

The PSD 3100 HV features a Class-A pre-amplifier of discrete construction employing HV technology, a relay-controlled volume control with Balance and Loudness function, switchable tone controls and dual mono output stages. Its high-quality XLR and asymmetrical RCA outputs deliver the signal to power amplifiers and active loudspeakers, while headphones can be connected using a symmetrical 4.4mm Pentaconn headphone output. This derives its signal from a special high-performance headphone amplifier which delivers a very stable voltage and constant current as well as sounding excellent, enabling it to control any dynamic headphones effortlessly, with ample reserves.
