MP 200 G3

Every source, compact brilliance.

The MP 200 G3 is T+A's Series 200 multi-source player — a compact unit delivering CD playback, FM/DAB+ tuner, Bluetooth aptX HD, and the third-generation ASA G3 streaming engine with native DSD256 network playback. Its True 1-Bit DAC processes DSD files in native bitstream without quality loss, while PCM is handled at up to 384 kHz/24-bit. Roon Ready certification, Gigabit Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, and support for Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music HD, and Spotify Connect make it a universal front end for any Series 200 or standalone system.

Technologies Inside

True 1-Bit DSD Converter

Native DSD. Never converted.

While most DACs convert DSD to PCM internally, T+A's True 1-Bit converter handles DSD data in native bitstream form — the single-bit data stream is processed directly without any conversion to PCM, completely retaining the audible advantages of bitstream encoding. Supporting up to DSD 1024 (49.2 MHz) in Series 200, and DSD 512 in the HV and R series.

DSD (Direct Stream Digital) was conceived as a way to capture audio with extreme temporal resolution — using a single bit toggling at rates from 2.8 MHz (DSD64) up to 49.2 MHz (DSD1024). The format's sonic character — its characteristic smoothness, analogue-like decay, and natural transient behaviour — comes directly from this pulse-density encoding. When a conventional DAC converts DSD to PCM for processing, it applies decimation filters that fundamentally alter the signal's temporal structure, losing exactly the qualities that make DSD distinctive. T+A's True 1-Bit converter avoids this entirely: the raw bitstream passes through a proprietary analogue reconstruction filter that converts the pulse density directly to an analogue waveform without any intermediate digital conversion. The result preserves the format's inherent musicality — the effortless fluidity and natural tonal warmth that DSD enthusiasts prize. With support up to DSD1024 in the Series 200 range, T+A handles the highest-resolution DSD recordings available today.

ASA G3 Streaming

Third-generation audiophile streaming.

T+A's third-generation Audiophile Streaming Architecture combines a quad-core processor with proprietary software for native DSD streaming from network — passing DSD directly to the True 1-Bit converter without conversion. Supports Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music HD, Spotify Connect, AirPlay 2, Roon Ready, aptX HD Bluetooth, and internet radio via Airable. Long-term platform support — first-generation devices from 2007 still receive updates.

Most streaming platforms in hi-fi components rely on third-party modules that the manufacturer cannot fully control or optimise. T+A develops their streaming architecture entirely in-house, giving them complete control over the signal path from network packet to DAC input. The ASA G3 platform runs on a quad-core processor with T+A's proprietary software stack, specifically engineered to pass DSD data natively to the True 1-Bit converter without any format conversion — something most streaming implementations cannot do. The platform handles gapless playback, bit-perfect output, and multi-room synchronisation while supporting virtually every major streaming service and protocol. Perhaps most importantly, T+A's commitment to long-term software support means that first-generation ASA devices from 2007 still receive firmware updates — nearly two decades of continued support. This protects the customer's investment and ensures that new streaming services and protocols can be added to existing hardware, rather than requiring replacement.

Series 200 Sources

Reference technology, accessible form.

The Series 200 source components distill HV-derived converter technology into a compact, elegant format. The DAC 200 features the same Quadruple DAC architecture with DSD1024 support and a discrete Class A preamplifier stage, while the MP 200 G3 combines a CD drive, FM/DAB+ tuner, and third-generation streaming engine with native DSD256 playback. Both feature Roon Ready certification and comprehensive digital connectivity.
