droffen Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 My HA 200 in 2023 had a very old firmware from 2020 at the time, so it was the only chance, instead of sending it back and forth to T+A. see firmware version history what has changed since then.

Best is to contact T+A directly.

droffen Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 2 hours ago, davidv100 said: Hello, I own a T+A DAC200, bought primarily for a speaker setup. Now, I would also like to enjoy the headphone output. I am thinking about buying a Sennheiser HD800s. But I have no idea if this is a good match based on power, impedance and stuff. Would somebody be so nice to help me out ? Would be awesome. For the T+A Dac200, I read : "4.4 mm Pentaconn, I read : 6 Ohms output Impedance, Class A operations up to 200mA" For the HD800s, I read : Sound Pressure Level (SPL) : 102 dB (1V), Impedance 300 Ohms... Remember T+A Dac200 headphone output (4.4 mm) is balanced (If relevant here) Ehm... so ? Is this compatible ? Do we have a match in heaven ? Or not at all ? Thanks a lot. I would stick with T+A, so either Solitaire P or P-SE. The SolP is the perfect match for me. Of course the price is steep.

At least for the HA200 T+A is mentioning that the headphone output impedance should be between 1/5 to 1/10 of the headphone impedance. SolP is 80 Ohms SolPSE is 48 Ohms T+A MP 200, HA 200, A 200 T+A Solitaire P Piega Premium 301 T+A Solitaire T Link to comment

droffen Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 5 minutes ago, OE333 said: Well, I think some of the features like Home Theater Pass-Through and separate Phones/PreAmp Volume do not make sense for the HA200. The other features could become part of the standards firmware, but I think this will to a great deal depend on the feed back on the new features and if enough users express demand for it... Exactly everything else besides these 2 features is interesting for me. T+A MP 200, HA 200, A 200 T+A Solitaire P Piega Premium 301 T+A Solitaire T Link to comment
droffen Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @OE333 Can I ran the displays of MP200 & DAC200 (HA200) 12 hours a day turned on? Or is it better to turn them off to avoid burn-in?

Is there any other method I could use or am I stuck on the firmware version I have?

I see the HDMI Module on this DAC supports CEC for volume change using TV remote - can someone confirm if the TV also sends power-on signal on the HDMI ARC CEC so that the DAC is turned on at the same time as well? I have the HA 200 only, but it doesn’t turn on automatically once the TV is on. Also the manuel isn’t stating such a feature.

droffen Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 On 4/19/2024 at 1:34 AM, Sid said: Yes - and thank you so much for response. Its a bummer that this is not supported, I was hoping for a consistent CEC implementation, helps to reduce remote usage :-) seems a bit wasteful to first turn the TV on and then separately DAC so that I can route TV's audio through my 2 channel setup...I guess my only solution is to use a universal remote! I like it the way it is implemented. Because I can decide whether I watch TV with sound via T+A or via TV itself.

However, it really does take a few days for the device to play in/burn in. Now I have to say that the DAC 200 has reconciled me with all the digital stuff, it's fun. Two questions for OE333: - what possessed the T+A people to develop the MP200 without internet radio, or have I missed something? Unfortunately, without internet radio the device makes no sense to me. Is an upgrade planned? - could you tell me the font in the display of the T+A DAC 200, then I can use the same font in the display of my streamer... 😀 Best regards FZ MP 200 has internet radio included I use it every day T+A MP 200, HA 200, A 200 T+A Solitaire P Piega Premium 301 T+A Solitaire T Link to comment
