From TA:
For more than twenty five years T+A has been developing and manufacturing digital and analogue devices of absolute top quality. At a very early stage we decided to concentrate on digital signal processing, because it was clear to us that the natural, uncoloured reproduction of digitally stored music depended crucially on the quality of conversion of the digital data into analogue data. Back in the mid-nineties we introduced the PreDA 3000 AC: a totally unique pre-amplifier / DAC with a superb performance. Our high-end disc players were far ahead of their time – not to mention the competition – due in no small measure to their sophisticated D/A converters and the natural sound generated by the excellent analogue output stages which were always an important feature. Over the last few years we have exploited our long experience and profound knowledge of digital signal processing in the development of fully-featured disc and multisource players. However, the DAC 8 was our first device designed to operate purely as a converter, and achieved its fantastic performance through the use of the very finest technologies and uncompromising design. Its successor is the DAC 8 DSD, which is the result of substantial further development work. It is now capable of processing even DSD formats at ultra-high resolution using a dedicated T+A True One Bit Converter. This means that it features the very latest leading technologies to convert any digital source into perfect analogue signals at ultra-high quality and genuinely audiophile sound. The result is that the DAC 8 DSD is the perfect unit for use with digital sources in a classic High-End system which is not capable of processing digital sources directly, or not at sufficiently high quality. With its superb pre-amplifier and sophisticated volume control the DAC 8 DSD can also drive very high-quality output stages or active speakers, enabling it to take its place as the High-End command centre of a complete system. It was exactly for this purpose that we developed our high-performance AMP 8 power amplifier. This unit is based on the circuit technology of our HV- and R-series amplifiers, which simply means that it offers superb sound characteristics and very high power reserves in spite of its small physical size. The AMP 8 sounds sensational: vigorous, dynamic, high-resolution yet delicate, subtle and audiophile. The new MP 8 Multi Source Player completes the Series 8 range. The MP 8 is based on our R-series MP 2000 R MKII, and is best described as a digital multi-talent. It incorporates a wide range of digital sources, from CD mechanism via high-res streaming client to Bluetooth module, and processes all of them to the highest standard of audiophile quality. Viewed overall, the Series 8 constitutes a comprehensive High-End system offering extremely high performance, despite being amazingly small and compact. The cases are intentionally small and of all-aluminium construction: the base plate and top cover are machined from solid aluminium plates 6 mm thick, and we make the side and front panels from aluminium profiles which are extruded using special complex tools. All sockets and connections are made from gold-plated pure brass, eliminating all traces of ferro-magnetic materials which could generate interference. The heavy case rests on vibration-damped absorber feet. The High-End system consisting of DAC 8 DSD, AMP 8 and MP 8 has been developed with the aim of satisfying the purist audiophile music lover who is uncompromising when it comes to quality of reproduction from a vast range of digital music sources. It sets new standards far beyond its price class.
