HA 200 Headphone Amplifier
Ultra-High-End Class-A Headphone Amplifier & D/A Converter | Brisbane HiFi High-End Audio Specialist
The T+A HA 200 is a flagship Class-A headphone amplifier and reference digital-to-analog converter engineered without compromise for the world’s most demanding Head-Fi enthusiasts.
Combining T+A’s advanced High-Voltage (HV) circuit architecture, derived from the company’s cost-no-object HV reference series, with proprietary dual DAC technology and fully configurable headphone output stages, the HA 200 delivers exceptional drive capability, precision, and musical realism with virtually any dynamic or planar magnetic headphone.
Featuring dual analog QPPM VU meters, separate toroidal power supplies for digital and analog sections, and three independently switchable headphone outputs, the HA 200 serves as a complete personal audio reference center for audiophiles across Brisbane, Queensland, and Australia.
Key Features & Audio Engineering Highlights
Pure Class-A High-Voltage (HV) Topology
The HA 200 uses a discrete High-Voltage Class-A output stage operating with up to 700 mA idle current, delivering:
- Exceptional linearity
- Massive dynamic headroom
- Zero crossover distortion
- Smooth, organic musical reproduction
Selectable Output Impedance Matching
Six selectable output impedance settings allow precise matching with different headphone designs:
- 8 Ω
- 12 Ω
- 18 Ω
- 25 Ω
- 40 Ω
- 80 Ω
Optimizing:
- Damping factor
- Frequency response behavior
- Power delivery
- Headphone compatibility
From sensitive in-ear monitors to demanding planar magnetic headphones.
Proprietary Dual DAC Architecture
The HA 200 features completely independent digital conversion pathways:
- Quadruple Double-Differential 32-bit PCM DAC supporting up to 768 kHz
- T+A 1-Bit True DSD Converter supporting native DSD up to DSD 1024 (49.2 MHz)
Providing optimized processing for every digital format.
Dual Toroidal Power Supplies & Galvanic Separation
Separate power supplies isolate:
- Digital processing circuits
- Analog audio stages
Reducing:
- Ground interference
- Digital switching noise
- Signal contamination
Three Independently Switchable Headphone Outputs
The HA 200 provides:
- 6.3 mm single-ended headphone output
- 4.4 mm Pentaconn balanced output
- 4-pin XLR balanced output
Each output features independent switching circuitry for maximum flexibility.
Crossfeed & Custom DSP Modes
Built-in processing options include:
- Adjustable crossfeed for a speaker-like listening presentation
- Selectable oversampling filters
- Bezier filter mode
- FIR filter mode
- NOS (Non-Oversampling) mode
Allowing listeners to tailor the sound presentation.
