T A SDV 3100 HV Reference Streaming DAC / Preamplifier (Titanium)

T A SDV 3100 HV Reference Streaming DAC / Preamplifier (Titanium) Key Features The T A SDV 3100HV in titanium finish is a flagship digital control center that combines a high-end streaming DAC with a fully balanced reference-class preamplifier, delivering extraordinary sonic precision and system integration within T A’s elite HV series. Dual DAC architecture for ultra-high-resolution audioSeparate converters for PCM (up to 32-bit / 768 kHz) and native DSD (up to DSD1024) ensure optimal playback performance for both formats. Built-in high-performance streamerSupports TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify Connect, internet radio, and UPnP/DLNA—controlled via the T A MusicNavigator App. Versatile digital input arrayIncludes asynchronous USB-B, AES/EBU, coaxial, and optical inputs for seamless integration with various digital sources. Reference-class analog preamplifier stageFully balanced Class A output stages with precision analog volume control deliver uncompromising signal integrity. Multiple analog outputs for flexible setupFeatures both balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs for direct connection to power amps or active speakers. HV-Link integration and premium build qualityEnsures flawless communication with other HV components, all housed in a heavy, resonance-free aluminum chassis designed for isolation and durability. Finished in titanium lacquer and crafted to reference standards, the T A SDV 3100 HV Reference Streaming DAC / Preamplifier is a no-compromise solution for audiophiles seeking top-tier digital playback and analog control in one elegant component. 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.
