T+A E Series Music Receiver - Silver

This genuine all-rounder incorporates the essential genes of the superb Power Plant and Music Player separates, and is certainly one of the most modern and innovative receivers currently available on the world market. It combines classic analogue technology with the latest digital concepts, and constitutes a universal command centre for a truly modern, high-quality stereo system.
The Music Receiver includes the complete circuit design of the Power Plant’s potent and superb-sounding output stages, with just a minor reduction in output. More than 160 Watt output power per channel into 4 Ohms are available. The mains power supply is of classic high end construction, and features an oversized toroidal transformer which is stable under load, large reservoir capacity and refi ned stabilisation measures. These features make it the ideal candidate for effortlessly driving large, complex and demanding loudspeakers to the highest standards of quality.
The Music Player contributes its excellent analogue pre-amplifier, converter and CD mechanism (without pushrods). The pre-amplifier includes many sensible functions such as balance, tone control, loudness, flat function and sub-sonic filter for operation with satellite loudspeakers. The Music Receiver is also fitted with three high-quality analogue inputs (one of them as Tape in + out), one pre-amplifier output for connection to active loudspeakers or supplementary output stages, two sub-woofer outputs and one Line output, which would typically be used for a radio transmission module. The MUSIC RECEIVER is equipped with five digital inputs with independent clock resynchronisation, enabling the sophisticated 32-bit double-mono converter to be used as a high-quality audio DAC with other sources. The three coax inputs can process signals at up to 24-bit / 192 kHz. As you would expect, a jitter-free digital output is also present.
The facilities of this outstanding machine are rounded off with a good FM tuner and our streaming client board. The net result is that the Music Receiver has access to everything that can deliver music: VHF radio, Internet radio, UPnP network music servers, USB media storage devices, PC and iPod including control system.
The back panel of the Music Receiver reveals the vast facilities on offer: the machine not only provides High-End analogue inputs and outputs, but also a jitter-free digital output and five high-quality digital inputs (coax and optical). The LAN and WLAN sockets form the connection to the streaming client, while the USB inputs cater for the connection of an iPod and a hard disc. All RCA sockets and the loudspeaker terminals are hard gold-plated, and made of pure, non-magnetic brass. The Music Receiver is supplied complete with the F 100 system remote control.
