T+A MP 200 with T+A Dac 200 Synergy


Hi All -


I'm looking to make a change in my office system. I'm thinking of selling my Gold Note DS-10 with the supplementary power supply unit. It's a Streamer/DAC/Preamp all-in-one unit. 

I'd like to replace it with no more than two devices that combine streaming, digital-to-analog conversion, with preamp functionality. The combo that I've started looking at is the T+A Dac 200 along with the T+A MP 200. I've read these units have great synergy when used together. 

Question for the group: 

Does the T+A Dac 200 perform at a higher leverl when partnered with the T+A MP player? Or does the T+A Dac perform just as well with another streamer? 

How well does the T+A MP 200 perform versus other streamers such a Innuos? 

I have an Innuos ZENith MKiii in my living room that sounds great and been seamless in operation. 

I'd also welcome any general feedback on the either device AND/OR suggestions on other devices that folks recommend that combine these functions. I'd like to purchase used and budget is roughly $8K. 

For context, I mostly listen to streaming radio during the day while I work and/or classical or jazz from Qubuz as I write and prepare for meetings. I switch between an Audio Hungary P200 amp and a Luxman 590axii integrated. Speakers are Buchardt s400 mkii. 

Thanks in advance!

@mgrif104 - Thank you for the kind reply. I'll send you a PM over the weekend. 

@dougthebiker - In an other thread comparing Weiss to T+A, you had mentioned the synergy between the T+A MP 200 and T+A Dac 200 as something to note. Did you end up purchasing the above combo? Would welcome your POV on your experience testing the T+A Dac 200 with other streamers compared to the MP 200. And would welcome your general experience with those components individually and in partnership.
