Changes made since we originally looked at this amp are to output distortion residuals which are now more firmly biased into low (primarily second-order) harmonics. It lives in a box styled similarly to the server and on any rational assessment definitely qualifies as a purist audio component. The preamp (with its attendant ALPs volume control) can be switched on or off independently of the power stages and is automatically disabled when connected to the Music Player. Even the class D circuitry was developed by T+A in-house, the only digital part being the PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output stage. The matching Power Plant is an integrated class D stereo amplifier and is of wholly T+A design. ![]() This way you'll have the basis for a fully customised server solution which can be readily upgraded or extended when the occasion demands. It's also much more flexible.Īdd extra storage, a RAID array, for example, (RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Inexpensive or, according to some, Independent, Discs) and/or any other backup software/hardware options you prefer to provide redundancy if a hard disc goes down. First of all computer data storage is now very cheap, much cheaper than anything similar with an audio manufacturer's name on the bonnet. The Music Player will act as an internet radio when connected to a computer network, with access to thousands of stations and with data rates that currently extend to 320kbps, which for many ears, will be pretty close to CD.įinally, and this is absolutely central to the Music Player's role as a music server, it will also collaborate with your computer's disc burner to provide disc-ripping facilities and the music stored by the hard disc or discs attached to the computer can be accessed by the Music Player.Įssentially then, the Music Server acts as just another network client with some unusual qualities that suit it to its role. Unfortunately, other compressed audio players like the Sony MP3 range are not handled because of the different control protocols involved.īut this is not all. Your iPod can also be connected directly to the server, and controlled by it. There is a possibility that DAB will eventually become available in the form of a bolt-in module as the DAB aerial input has already been installed. ![]()
