Description

The Violectric DHA V226 is a new device in the Violectric range with a powerful D/A converter, powerful symmetrical headphone amplifier and preamplifier function. The D/A converter is a new development with the Cirrus converter CS43131. This 32-bit converter offers a typical dynamic range of 130 dB with a THD+N of -115 dB. It supports PCM signals up to 32 bit and 384 kHz and DSD 256. The headphone amplifier is a further development of the multiple test winners HPA V200, V280 and V281. It offers the incomparable natural and pleasant sound that made its predecessors famous. Overview: With its incomparable technology, the DHA V226 not only offers one of the most powerful headphone amplifiers on the market, but also: Lowest noise - due to a very small internal gain. As a result, the inherent noise of the amplifiers is inaudible. High output voltage - due to 50 volt internal operating voltage. Therefore ideally suited for high-impedance headphones. High output power - through powerful amplifiers that can deliver far more power than even the most demanding headphone can need. Therefore ideally suited for headphones with low impedances and also magnetostatics. High damping factor - due to the lowest output impedance. Therefore ideally suited to control even the most difficult headphones without influencing them with a guarantee for an uncompromising frequency response. The choice is yours: D/A converter? headphone amplifier? preamp? A combination? The headphone outputs or the rear line outputs can be activated/deactivated using a switch on the front. Connect not only your headphones to the DHA V226, but also your power amplifier or your active loudspeakers and enjoy a compact and fantastic sounding headphone amplifier with a high-quality D/A converter and a first-class preamp.
