The R 2500 R merges the esteemed design and performance of the R series with the versatile functionality of a 'One Box System,' making it a pinnacle in sound technology. Its capabilities extend to playing a myriad of sources owing to its integrated DSD and PCM converters that impeccably transform digital signals into high-quality analog signals. These signals are then amplified using built-in technology that reflects T+A's renowned sound excellence, delivering audio to external speakers at unparalleled levels of clarity and depth.
A standout feature of the R 2500 R is its incorporation into the third generation of T+A’s streaming architecture, marking a significant evolution in how users interact with streaming services. For the first time in T+A devices, users can directly control their experience using popular mobile streaming apps like Spotify and Tidal through Connect Services. This new integration enhances user accessibility and control, providing a seamless and rich streaming experience directly from handheld devices.
In its physical composition, the R 2500 R measures 16.5 x 46 x 40.5 cm and embodies a philosophy of 'timeless reduction'. The design features minimal, strategically placed buttons that do not disrupt the chassis's sleek elegance. The front panel, characterized by distinct phasings, merges effortlessly into the side panels, creating a unified and robust structural identity. The exterior, adorned in hand-brushed aluminum with a light gloss finish, further accentuates its sophisticated and modern aesthetic. This attention to detail ensures that the R 2500 R is not just an audio device but a piece dedicated to enhancing any space it occupies.
