Violectric DHA V226

High-End DAC, Headphone Amplifier and Preamp in One Compact Unit

The Violectric DHA V226 merges a top-class D/A converter, a fully balanced headphone amplifier and a premium preamp in a single chassis. Its Cirrus CS43131 DAC delivers a typical 130 dB dynamic range and an ultra-low –115 dB THD. Via USB-C it supports PCM signals up to 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD up to 256.

Main Features

  • 2 analog stereo inputs (RCA unbalanced)
  • 1 digital USB-C input supporting 32-bit / 384 kHz PCM and DSD64–256
  • 32-bit DAC with 130 dB dynamic range and –115 dB THD+N
  • ±18 dB PRE-GAIN for perfect matching between source and headphones
  • Alps RK27 volume control with massive 38 mm aluminum knob
  • Four powerful amp stages: 3500 mW Pmax @100 Ω, 23 V RMS @600 Ω
  • Delayed headphone coupling on power-on
  • Individually switchable headphone and line-out paths

Headphone Outputs

  • 4-pin XLR (balanced)
  • 4.4 mm Pentaconn (balanced)
  • 6.3 mm jack (unbalanced)

Line Outputs

  • RCA (unbalanced)

Technology Highlights

  • Lowest noise: very low internal gain keeps self-noise inaudible.
  • High output voltage: ±50 V internal supply ideal for high-impedance headphones.
  • High output power: ample reserves even for low-impedance or planar-magnetic models.
  • High damping factor: extremely low output impedance for linear frequency response and precise control.

Use the DHA V226 as DAC, headphone amplifier, preamp – or any combination – and enjoy compact size, reference-grade sound and outstanding versatility.
