Violectric DHA V380²

Violectric DHA V380²

High-end DAC and headphone amplifier with 32-bit resampling/reclocking

The Violectric DHA V380² combines a state-of-the-art 32-bit D/A converter, resampling/reclocking and a powerful headphone amplifier in a compact chassis. The latest findings from the multi-award-winning developments of Lake People, Violectric and Niimbus have been implemented directly into its circuitry.

Highlights

• Lowest noise thanks to very low internal gain – self-noise practically inaudible
• ±50 V internal operating voltage – ideal for high-impedance headphones
• Enormous power reserves, also for low-impedance and planar magnetic models
• High damping factor thanks to extremely low output impedance for a linear frequency response and perfect control
• ±18 dB PRE-GAIN for optimal matching with any headphone/source combination

Connections

• Analogue inputs: 2× RCA (unbalanced)
• Digital inputs: optical & coaxial (24 bit/96–192 kHz), USB (up to 32 bit/384 kHz PCM, DSD64–512)
• Headphone outputs: 1× 4-pin XLR, 2× 6.3 mm jack
• Line-out: 1× RCA, 1× XLR

Whether used as a headphone amplifier, preamplifier, or both – the DHA V380² impresses with state-of-the-art conversion technology, first-class amplification and elegant design.

Who is the DHA V380² best suited for?

The DHA V380² is the right choice for anyone who wants a DAC and headphone amplifier in one device with elevated performance, without jumping straight to the larger and considerably more expensive V590². With a 32-bit D/A converter, resampling/reclocking, and an amplifier stage on par with the V340/V324, it's especially suited to listeners looking for a versatile, digital all-in-one solution in the mid price range.
