T+A MP 2000 R G3 Multi-Source CD Player, Network Streamer & DAC

High-end R-Series CD player and network streamer featuring T+A's third-generation streaming architecture, native DSD512 conversion, 32-bit/384kHz PCM processing, and balanced XLR outputs.

The T+A MP 2000 R G3 combines precision CD playback, high-resolution music streaming, and reference-grade digital-to-analog conversion in a single premium audio component. Engineered in Germany, this R-Series multi-source player delivers exceptional flexibility for modern high-end stereo systems.

At its core are T+A's Double-Differential Quadruple PCM DAC, proprietary True 1-Bit DSD converter, and Audiophile Streaming Architecture G3. Separate PCM and DSD signal paths allow each format to be converted using technology specifically optimized for its characteristics.

With support for 32-bit/384kHz PCM, native DSD512 via USB, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay 2, the MP 2000 R G3 integrates physical music collections with contemporary high-resolution streaming.

Precision CD Transport

The MP 2000 R G3 incorporates a high-quality CD mechanism developed for accurate, stable disc playback.

Its transport features a heavy-duty Mabuchi motor, mechanically isolated floating sub-chassis, stainless-steel guide rods, and an aluminum-ABS disc tray. A resonance-damped aluminum enclosure shields the optical mechanism from external vibration.

Supported disc formats include:

• Audio CD (CD-DA)

• CD-R

• CD-RW

• CD Text

The CD section delivers a frequency response of 2Hz–20kHz with a specified 100dB dynamic range.

True 1-Bit Native DSD Conversion

T+A's proprietary True 1-Bit DSD Converter processes Direct Stream Digital signals in their native single-bit format without first converting them into PCM.

This dedicated conversion path supports DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, and DSD512, with DSD512 available through the asynchronous USB DAC input using compatible playback equipment.

Native DSD network playback is supported up to DSD256.

By maintaining separate conversion architectures for PCM and DSD, the MP 2000 R G3 preserves the characteristics of each digital audio format.

Double-Differential Quadruple PCM DAC

PCM signals are processed by T+A's advanced Quadruple Converter, incorporating four 32-bit sigma-delta DACs per channel in a double-symmetrical configuration.

A 56-bit digital signal processor provides four selectable oversampling filters:

• FIR Short

• FIR Long

• Bézier/IIR

• Bézier

The converter supports PCM resolutions up to 32-bit/384kHz through its USB DAC input.

T+A's precision conversion architecture is designed to minimize distortion, improve linearity, and preserve low-level musical information.

Audiophile Streaming Architecture G3

The MP 2000 R G3 features T+A's third-generation streaming platform, providing direct access to premium music services, local network libraries, and compatible mobile devices.

Supported services and technologies include:

• TIDAL and TIDAL Connect

• Qobuz and Qobuz Connect

• Spotify Connect

• Deezer

• Amazon Music HD

• HIGHRESAUDIO

• Apple AirPlay 2

• Audirvana compatibility

• Internet radio and podcasts through airable

The network streaming engine supports PCM files up to 24-bit/384kHz and native DSD playback up to DSD256.

Compatible audio formats include FLAC, WAV, AIFF, ALAC, AAC, MP3, OGG Vorbis, DFF, and DSF.

De-Jitter Masterclocking

T+A's two-stage De-Jitter Masterclocking system minimizes timing errors introduced by digital sources and transmission interfaces.

Incoming data first passes through a phase-locked loop that reduces source-related jitter. The signal is then synchronized to an internal precision master clock when the incoming signal meets the required stability criteria.

Two dedicated quartz oscillators independently handle the 44.1kHz and 48kHz sampling-rate families.

This architecture provides a stable timing reference for digital-to-analog conversion, supporting precise imaging and low-distortion reproduction.

Digital Analog Separation System

The MP 2000 R G3 incorporates T+A's Digital Analog Separation System (DASS), which galvanically isolates the digital circuitry from the analog output stage.

The double-mono analog architecture uses isolation transformers to prevent interference from connected digital sources from entering the sensitive analog signal path.

Its wide-bandwidth output stage extends to 100kHz, providing exceptional high-frequency performance.

Balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs allow integration with a wide range of premium integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers.

Digital Inputs and External DAC Functionality

The MP 2000 R G3 functions as a standalone DAC for compatible external digital sources.

Connections include:

• 2 × Coaxial S/PDIF digital inputs

• 2 × Optical Toslink digital inputs

• 1 × Asynchronous USB DAC input

• 2 × USB ports for external storage

• 1 × Coaxial S/PDIF digital output

The coaxial and optical inputs support PCM up to 24-bit/192kHz, while the USB DAC input supports PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz and native DSD512.

This connectivity makes the MP 2000 R G3 suitable for computer audio, digital transports, and other compatible sources.

FM, DAB+ and Bluetooth Playback

In addition to CD and network streaming, the MP 2000 R G3 includes an integrated radio tuner supporting FM, FM-HD, DAB, and DAB+ broadcasts where available.

Bluetooth audio reception with aptX HD provides convenient wireless playback from compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The combination of traditional and modern audio sources makes the MP 2000 R G3 a versatile digital centerpiece.

German R-Series Construction

The MP 2000 R G3 features T+A's refined R-Series aluminum chassis, combining precision manufacturing with a timeless, understated design.

Available finishes include:

• Silver Anodized Aluminum

• Black Anodized Aluminum

Its compact 3.2-inch-high chassis integrates naturally with T+A R-Series integrated amplifiers and other premium audio components.

The included SRC 1 system remote and T+A MusicNavigator G3 app provide convenient source selection and playback control.
