DHA V380 MKII
High-end DAC/headphone amplifier combo with fully balanced topology and precise, neutral playback.
Violectric DHA V380
High-End DAC and Headphone Amplifier with 32-bit Resampling/Reclocking
The Violectric DHA V380 combines a state-of-the-art 32-bit D/A converter, resampling/reclocking and a powerful headphone amplifier in a single compact unit. Drawing on the award-winning engineering of Lake People, Violectric and Niimbus, it delivers natural, detailed and highly musical sound.
Technology Highlights
- Lowest noise: very low internal gain keeps self-noise virtually inaudible.
- High output voltage: ±50 V internal supply – perfect for high-impedance headphones.
- High output power: ample reserves even for low-impedance and planar-magnetic models.
- High damping factor: extremely low output impedance for linear frequency response and precise control.
Features & Connections
- 2 analogue stereo inputs (RCA unbalanced)
- 3 digital inputs: optical & coaxial (24 bit/96–192 kHz), USB up to 32 bit/384 kHz PCM, DSD64–512
- 32-bit resampling/reclocking with 180 dB dynamic range (modes: On / Off / Best)
- 2 × 32-bit D/A converters per channel, –112 dB THD+N, 123 dB dynamic range
- ±18 dB pre-gain for perfect matching between source and headphones
- 4 amplifier stages delivering 5000 mW @50 Ω and 21 V RMS @600 Ω
- Headphone and line-out paths individually switchable
- Headphone outputs: 2× 6.3 mm jack (unbalanced), 1× 4-pin XLR (balanced)
- Line-out: 1× RCA (unbalanced), 1× XLR (balanced)
