T A SDV 3100 HV Reference Streaming DAC / Preamp (Silver)

T A SDV 3100 HV Reference Streaming DAC / Preamp (Silver) Key Features The T A SDV 3100 HV in silver is a flagship streaming DAC and reference-grade preamplifier, designed to be the digital heart of high-end audio systems. Part of the elite HV series, it delivers uncompromising sound quality, streaming power, and analog precision. High-resolution dual DAC architectureQuadruple PCM converter (up to 32-bit / 768 kHz) and True 1-Bit DSD DAC (up to DSD1024) process each format natively for pristine sonic clarity. Integrated high-end network streamerSupports TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify Connect, internet radio, and UPnP/DLNA playback—fully controlled via the T A MusicNavigator App. Flexible digital connectivityFeatures asynchronous USB-B, AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical digital inputs for seamless source integration. Advanced analog preamp sectionIncorporates fully balanced Class A output stages, precision analog volume control, and one analog input for full preamp functionality. Headphone amplifier built-inHigh-performance Class A headphone amp delivers detailed, powerful private listening via front-panel output. Premium build and isolationCrafted from solid aluminum with five internally shielded compartments to ensure low-resonance operation and signal purity. HV-Link system integrationCommunicates flawlessly with other HV series components for unified control and performance. With its silver finish and no-compromise engineering, the T A SDV 3100 HV Streaming DAC / Preamplifier is a master-level digital and analog preamp solution for audiophiles seeking peak streaming and playback performance. The Streaming DAC Preamp In the SDV 3100 HV we have now created a digital / analogue converter which is even more complex and sophisticated than our previous converters, allowing us to double previous resolution levels: 32-bit / 768 kHz for PCM and DSD 1024 for bitstream data. This improvement required us to carry out meticulous refinement work on the previous converters, and at the same time develop a completely new USB receiver for these high frequencies. The SDV 3100 HV and SD 3100 HV are identical in their mechanical and electronic construction except for the pre-amplifier section, which is additionally equipped with the SDV 3100 HV. The SDV 3100 HV – and also a full HV system – can be controlled using the F 3100 remote control handset or one of the T A apps. Headphone Amp Audiophile music enthusiasts like to use high-quality headphones, that‘s why we have build in a particularly good, high-performance analogue headphone amplifier. The SDV 3100 HV is fitted with the volume control module of the P 3000 HV and has one analogue input, enabling it to be employed as pre-amplifier in a complete HV system. Construction There are three aspects which have a crucial influence on the sound characteristics of high-quality Hi-Fi equipment: their mechanical construction, their analogue technology and their digital signal processing. Only if the development team balances all three facets perfectly can the device as a whole satisfy the most demanding requirements. This is why all our HV devices are built of pure aluminium, without any ferro-magnetic materials at all, and features five compartments separated and shielded by aluminium dividing walls. The current / voltage stages – crucial to sound quality – which follow the D/A converter stages are of totally discrete, channel-separate construction, and feature our HV technology, as does the analogue output stage. This ensures that a pre-amplifier or integrated amplifier connected to it are fed the ideal input signal.
