DESIGN & CONCEPT
The Symphonia functions as a versatile "one-box system," combining exceptional sound quality and design in a compact form. It seamlessly integrates three devices into one, granting access to a wide range of music sources and utilizing unique converter architectures to convert digital bits and bytes into pure analog signals. These signals are then amplified and transmitted to loudspeakers and headphones with accuracy, as intended by the artist. Its design pays homage to the past while moving towards the future, featuring intuitive access to all functions through a few buttons and rotary/push controllers. The proportions reflect the brand's first electronics series from the 1980s, while the front and interface draw inspiration from their longest-running R Series and newly developed OS concept, respectively.
VERSATILE CONNECTIONS
The Symphonia embodies its “Future of Retro” philosophy not only in design but also in its connectivity, supporting a wide range of inputs that bridge the gap between decades-old analog sources and modern digital media. Its input options include analog connections for classic sources, digital, HDMI, and USB interfaces for gaming consoles and televisions, and a built-in phono
stage for vinyl lovers.
With dedicated preamp and sub- woofer outputs, the Symphonia integrates effortlessly into existing systems or serves as the centerpiece of an entire musical environment.
AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY
Power should never come at the expense of control. Only when raw power is precisely guided by intelligent technology can it capture the depth, detail, and emotion behind every recording. That is why the Symphonia features custom-calibrated PURIFI EigentaktTM amplifiers, delivering up to 250 watts per channel without sacrificing precision. With a linear frequency response up to 60 kHz, an ultra-low distortion factor, and minimal intermodulation distortion, the amplifier section does only one thing: deliver the incoming signal to the outputs with absolute purity. Coloration, distortion, or alterations to the music are eliminated - what remains is the recording, exactly as it was created.
The Intelligent Safe Control (ISC) system continuously monitors key performance parameters multiple times per second, ensuring consistent stability even under the most demanding conditions.
CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY
At the core of the Symphonia lies a groundbreaking converter architecture, the result of our relentless pursuit of sonic excellence and deep expertise in digital technology. The T+A True-1Bit Converter processes DSD files natively and unaltered, eliminating the common but harmful conversion to PCM. The PCM Double Differential Converter, the latest evolution of a design refined over decades, reduces noise and distortion to an absolute minimum, delivering an unprecedented combination of dynamics and precision.
Despite our focus on pure sound reproduction, we believe in offering listeners the ability to personalize their experience. Our filter algorithms allow users to adjust the tonal balance to their individual preferences, ensuring a completely customized listening experience.
STREAMING TECHNOLOGY
The third generation of our Audiophile Streaming Architecture (ASA G3) transforms the Symphonia into a central hub within the Internet of Things. Featuring modern sources, intuitive operation, and T+A’s signature sound quality, ASA G3 reflects our ambition to make high-end audio effortless and accessible.
The Symphonia offers built-in access to streaming services such as Deezer, Qobuz, and Tidal, while Bluetooth and Connect services such as AirPlay and Tidal Connect allow seamless playback from mobile devices. Playback is done at the highest possible sample rate up to high resolution 384/32 (HD) PCM and native DSD 256, respectively.
