High-resolution converter, preamplifier, headphone amplifier, control center... the new Violectric DHA V226 combines all these functions in one compact chassis that integrates neatly into a home audio setup while providing top quality. Innovative circuits, created by the Constance-based team of developers, achieve impressive technical figures that should manifest into equally impressive sound results.
Digital signals are fed into the Violectric DHA V226 via USB-C, running through a high-quality converter circuit. At its core, the latest Cirrus Logic CS43131 MasterHIFI DAC is able to process audio data with up to 32 bits at 384kHz and DSD256 and faithfully translate it into the analog domain. A large dynamic range of typically 130dB and minuscule distortion of -115dB ensures a detailed and unadulterated reproduction of high-resolution music.
Violectric is recognized for the quality of the headphone amplifiers developed and built in Konstanz, in the South of Germany. The amplification circuit integrated into the DHA V226 lives up to this reputation. With connection options ranging from 4-pin XLR to Pentaconn and 6.3-mm jack, the V266 offers a choice of one unbalanced and two balanced formats. For true balanced operation, it employs four amplifiers. Connector type and signal balancing already provide wide-ranging compatibility, which is expanded even further with the Pre-Gain circuitry, allowing for the optimization of the level structure for the headphone model used. The high output voltage of more than 23 Veff enables effortless operation of high-impedance headphones, while the generous output power of up to 3500 mW perfectly supports low impedances and even magnetostatic models. High attenuation and ultra-low distortion ensure particularly clean playback – a true high-end headphone experience.
The Violectric DHA V226 also goes beyond headphone playback. Its two analog RCA inputs and analog RCA output make it the ideal central hub for an entire hifi setup. The converted audio signal can thus be forwarded to power amplifiers or active speakers and the volume knob of the V226 can be activated or deactivated for this output, depending on the situation and personal preference. The analog inputs allow for the connection of additional players, with the benefit of the headphone amplifier in the DHA V226.
Violectric manufactures all its products in its own workshop, where the entire creation process of a product, from the first concept to prototypes to fain assembling takes place. In addition to the company's craftsmanship, the brands stands for the painstaking selection of the absolute best components, and among many other quality parts, the DHA V266 employs an Alps RK 27 potentiometer with a 38mm full aluminum knob.
The Violectric DHA V266 is distributed exclusively through CMA audio and is available now with an MSRP of 1,399.00 Euros or $1,599.95 USD.
