Product Description

Solitaire P – T+A

T+A – Solitaire P, a German high-end specialist audio manufacturer, has announced the release of its first-ever headphones and headphone amplifier/DAC – the Solitaire P and HA 200. The corded over-ear planar-magnetostatic headphone design, handcrafted in Germany, combines minimalist styling and the finest materials with class-leading research and development.

The HA 200, which is also hand-built in Germany, employs the company’s flagship HV Series circuits in a Class-A design with a high idle current. Allowing it to drive even the most demanding headphones with ease. T+A has created these products in no uncertain terms for those looking for a new level of headphone performance.

The Headphone Amplifier T+A HA 200

Firstly, The output stages of the HA 200 operate in Class-A mode with a high idle current. The most demanding headphones can be powered. The two separate toroidal transformers in the high-quality mains sections – one digital, one analog – provide all the stamina. The HA 200 also has optimized and separate DSD and PCM decoder architecture. Ensuring that all digital formats are decoded to the highest standards.

A double differential quadruple converter with a conversion rate of up to 768 kHz handles all-digital signal processing of PCM data. The T+A True 1-Bit DSD converter is used for DSD data; instead of converting it, it processes it in native Bitstream form. This means that DSD data up to DSD 1024 can be reproduced in the highest quality as it arrives from the digital connecting board’s USB input.

The HA 200 is capable of driving even the most demanding headphones. Thanks to the high-quality power supply that features two separate toroidal power transformers – one for the analog circuits. The other for the digital circuits.

It is based on the company’s HV analog technology, which is reserved for its flagship range of high-end audio components. The HA 200 also has an abundance of inputs, with 8 total, including 2 analog and 6 digital if the optional HDMI board is used.

Design Aesthetics for Maximum Comfort

Secondly, The earcups are CNC-milled from aluminum and have a bold yet minimalist appearance and feel to them. T+A has once again maintained tight control over its engineering processes in order to define an assembly that meets its stringent criteria.

The headbands made of synthetic leather, and the soft ear cups made of an Alcantara preparation. The headphones appear to be well-made, especially with the black aluminum mesh of the outer earcups.

They used planar technologies in their transducer design to enable more efficient distribution of diaphragm movement. Magnets held in a precise configuration to create a total linear magnetic field in which the ultra-lightweight diaphragm can resonate. Despite the weight of 490g, the use of comfortable earcups and headbands allows for a pleasant listening experience.
