 The Multi-Source Player

T + A was the first High-End manufacturer to equip a CD player with an additional digital manufacturer's idea was unusual at the time, but it was certainly logical and justified. Othenchine to incorporate the principle was the E-Series Music Player. The sound quality of a digital music source is determined to a great extent by the quality of the digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) employed. Since T+A CD players had always boasted excellent converters, it made a good deal of sense to add additional digital sources to themces to them, such as a net input for external digital sources, instead of producing a separate case for each source. This makes obvious economic sense, but is possible in technical terms, since there is no need for additional cases, converters, mains power supplies, and cable connections. It is much more effective to build one superior converter and play back all the sources through it, even though that converter is more expensive in the first place.

That is why we have developed the unique Double Differential Quadruple Converter for PCM digital to analogue conversion. It processes the signals from the jitter reduction stage, whose own design philosophy is probably unique. It receives data from the high-quality pushrod-operated CD mechanism, the FM tuner, the streaming client, and the seven digital inputs. The D/A converter is followed, wed by the current / voltage converter, which is so crucial to sound quality, and an analogue output stageoth of which is of fully discrete construction, and incorporates our HV technology.
The FD 100 bi-directional RF remote control system can be used to cobidirectionaltions of the HV-system. It disull the content of the device's SCR HV system. It also works as well.

Technology

We have fitted out the MP 30cover arth-quality CD mechanism, which offers very high-speed access times and superb error correction. That is why we have selected a disc unit with a high-quality mechanism and heavy-duty motors, and invested a great deal of effort in its mechanical design to prevent any form of interaction between the motor and prevent remainder of the player. For this reason the CD mechanism features two-stage isolation: firstly it is installed in a solid, heavy housing which has a mass-damping effect, and prevents the transmission of structural sound from the base surface to the electronics and the disc mechanism; the second isolation measure is a three-point suspension system, optimized to prevent resonance effects, which de-couples the disc mechanism from the player’s case itself. The CD drawer is guided accurately on two stainless steel pushrods and features a high-quality aluminum–ABS support.

The streaming client (SCL) is an aluminum–ABS processor board that was designed specifically for audio applications, with requirements at the forefront. It offers USB sockets (one on the back panel, a second on the front), as well as WLAN and LAN interfaces, and provides a high-quality connection to networks and We have very deliberately eschewed the use of a standard computer solution to avoid loss of quality caused by high-frequency signals.

The SCL supports high-resolution formats and media servers and offers the convenient vTuner Internet Radio Station Service at no additional charge.
The VHF FM tuner has excellent sensitivity, high crosstalk attenuation and overload margins, and sounds excellent both with a cable, lead, and an aerial system. It features radio sets and auxiliary functions.
The fourth digital source takes the form of seven digital inputs, which can be used to connect any external source, such as set-top boxes, disc drives, digital recorders, and players. The machine includes the following professional or semi-professional inputs: 1 x AES-EBU, 5 x SP/DIF (2 high-quality BNC, one standard co-ax, 2 TOS-Link optical) and high-quality connection facilities for PCs: 1 x USB Device Mode with USB Class1 (max. 96/24) and USB Class 2 Mode (max. 192/32), including support for asynchronous (USB 2 Mode) + synchronous (USB 1 Mode) data transmission.

In the MP 3000 HV, the four digital sources described above pass through the,e same digital signal processing path with all its revolutionary features, such as T+A DSP oversampling with optimized algorithms, clock generation with jitter elimination and resynchronisation.
Jitter is one of the most serious problems affecting digital music. It develops in the source device (especially in computers) and during the data transfer process between the source and the converter. For perfect reproduction, any jitter must be removed from the data before they are converted into analogue signals in the DAC. For this reason, we have developed a unique two-stage method of clock generation (jitter elimination): in the first stage, the circuit processes and decodes the data it receives. The flow of received data allows a raw clock to be generated, from which coarse jitter caused by the source device and the transfer path is removed in the first cleaning stage using a PLL circuit. The resultant clock is now excruciatingly detailed by the microprocessor. If it fulfils certain minimum criteria in frequency and stability, specific D/A converters are required regarding an ultra-precise internally generated master clock with extremely low phase noise. This clock is completely decoupled from the source device, eliminating all coupled jitter interference from the source and the transfer path.

The local master clock is generated by a pair of separate quartz oscillators adjusted to extremely fine tolerances – one each for the clock groups 44.1 / 88.2 / 176.4 kHz and one for 48 / 96 / 192 kHz. This refined solution provides perfect converter clocks for all frequencies from 44.1 kHz up.
If the incoming signal does not satisfy the criteria for switching over to the local clock oscillators, a second PLL stage (jitterbug) is employed instead of the quartz oscillators. This further refines the result of the first jitterbug stage and reduces the residual jitter after the first stage by a factor of four.

After the clock generation process, the data is converted in our quadruple converter, which has again been improved. It is equipped with a high-performance signal processor with switchable oversampling algorithms. It also features four of each channel's latest 32-bit converter chips, arranged in a double symmetrical quadruple circuit. This circuit perfectly compensates for the lack of linearity, and the residual noise, which is excessive with the 32-bit converter, is reduced again by approximately a further 6 dB. The,erall result is virtually unsurpassable dynamic range with a perfect “black value”, extreme linearity and freedom from distortion, even in crucial passages and minute musical details.
Like the converter, the analogue section is also of fully channel-separate construction (double mono) and is completely galvanically separated using jitter-free i-Coupler devices. This design excludes traces of interference from external source devices, and even the typically hideous computer interference is rendered harmless.
