T+A MP 3100 HV G3 Multi-Source SACD Player & Network Streamer

Flagship multi-source SACD player featuring T+A's third-generation Audiophile Streaming Architecture, True 1-Bit DSD DAC, 32-bit PCM conversion, and native DSD512 playback.

The T+A MP 3100 HV G3 is a reference-grade SACD player, network music streamer, and digital-to-analog converter engineered for the most demanding high-end audio systems. Part of T+A's prestigious HV Series, it combines precision optical disc playback, advanced high-resolution streaming, and proprietary digital conversion technologies in a single German-built component.

At its core are T+A's Path Separation Technology, a dedicated True 1-Bit converter for DSD, and a Double-Differential Quadruple DAC architecture for PCM. This approach allows each digital format to be processed through circuitry optimized for its specific signal structure.

The MP 3100 HV G3 supports PCM up to 32-bit/384kHz, native DSD up to DSD512, SACD playback, and extensive network streaming capabilities.

Precision SACD and CD Playback

The MP 3100 HV G3 features a custom-engineered, high-precision linear-tracking optical drive designed specifically for reference music reproduction.

Its heavy, shielded transport assembly incorporates three-point anti-resonance suspension to reduce mechanical interference.

A dual-laser system provides dedicated optical pickup capabilities for SACD and CD playback.

Supported disc formats include:

• Stereo SACD

• Audio CD

• CD-R and CD-RW

• CD Text

The SACD section delivers a specified frequency range of 2Hz–44kHz and 110dB dynamic range.

Third-Generation Audiophile Streaming Architecture

T+A's Audiophile Streaming Architecture G3 (ASA G3) expands network playback capabilities while maintaining the manufacturer's emphasis on audio quality.

The third-generation streaming platform supports Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band Wi-Fi, enabling playback from network music libraries, streaming services, and compatible mobile devices.

Supported services and technologies include TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, Amazon Music HD, HIGHRESAUDIO, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Apple AirPlay 2, and internet radio.

The platform also supports UPnP network playback, gapless playback for supported formats, and control through the T+A MusicNavigator app.

Native DSD512 and True 1-Bit Conversion

The MP 3100 HV G3 incorporates T+A's proprietary True 1-Bit DSD DAC, designed to convert DSD signals in their native bitstream format.

Unlike architectures that convert DSD into PCM before analog conversion, T+A's Path Separation Technology provides an independent signal-processing path for DSD.

Native DSD playback extends to DSD512 (22.6MHz) through the compatible USB input. The G3 streaming platform also supports native network DSD playback, with supported rates depending on the source and streaming method.

Double-Differential Quadruple PCM DAC

PCM signals are handled by a separate Double-Differential Quadruple Converter incorporating four 32-bit sigma-delta DACs per channel.

This sophisticated architecture provides conversion rates up to 384kHz while maintaining independent processing for PCM and DSD.

A programmable digital signal processor offers four selectable PCM oversampling algorithms:

• FIR Short

• FIR Long

• Bézier/IIR

• Bézier

These options allow listeners to select the digital filter characteristics best suited to their system and preferences.

Advanced Jitter Reduction

The MP 3100 HV G3 employs a multistage clock recovery system designed to minimize timing errors in incoming digital signals.

Its precision clock architecture isolates the conversion process from the source device's clock.

When incoming signal conditions require additional correction, a second phase-locked loop stage provides further jitter reduction.

This architecture supports stable digital conversion across the player's multiple inputs.

Comprehensive Digital Connectivity

The MP 3100 HV G3 functions as a sophisticated digital hub for external sources.

Its Digital Connecting Board provides:

• 1 × AES/EBU digital input

• 1 × Coaxial S/PDIF RCA input

• 2 × High-quality BNC digital inputs

• 2 × Optical Toslink inputs

• 1 × Asynchronous USB device input

• 2 × USB master ports for external storage

An additional coaxial S/PDIF digital output allows connection to compatible external digital components.

Reference Analog Output Stage

The MP 3100 HV G3 incorporates a high-performance analog output stage with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA connections.

Its dual-mono design maintains separation between the left and right audio channels.

A third-order phase-linear Bessel analog filter provides selectable cutoff frequencies of 60kHz or 120kHz.

Separate power supplies for the analog and digital sections help minimize electrical interaction between sensitive circuits.

FM, HD Radio, DAB+ and Bluetooth

Beyond disc and network playback, the MP 3100 HV G3 integrates multiple additional listening sources.

An internal tuner supports FM, FM-HD, and DAB/DAB+ broadcasts where available, alongside internet radio through the airable platform.

Bluetooth connectivity includes aptX HD support for convenient wireless playback from compatible devices.

HV Series Construction — Made in Germany

The MP 3100 HV G3 is designed and handcrafted at T+A's headquarters in Herford, Germany.

Its substantial solid-aluminum chassis is engineered for mechanical stability, electrical shielding, and long-term durability.

Weighing approximately 57.3 pounds (26kg), the MP 3100 HV G3 reflects the robust construction philosophy of T+A's reference HV Series.
