Violectric HPA V200 Why not sufficiently appreciated?? - Page 8

I'd say v200 is very small. It is a very neutral amp with very airy presentation. Sound stage is deep and wide, with lots of layers, feels real.

Been living with the V200 for a few weeks now, got it for when the LCD-2 comes but it works exceptionally well with every headphone i have hooked into it.  I am very pleased with it.

thanks for the info !

I might join the happy owner's club soon...

My v181 just arrived, this sucker is heavy for its size!  The build quality and feel of the unit is amazing, love the feel of the volume control....very solid.  I will be running it for quite a while before listening to it however, stay tuned.  

become quite some amp horder as of late.

Got the V200 today. It´s the most expensive amp of those shown so it better perform :) Is there no english manual somewhere? My german is extremely rusty afraid I would miss something important? German online version would be nice as well. I could attempt babelfish it.

I did get the 16 bit USB DAC with it.

Got visitors so haven´t had a chance to get a listen. I noticed the volume knob was really stiff in the extremes. And going smooth as closer to 12 oclock I got.

nice lol!  I recently got the v181 and it came with an english manual.  Where did you order it?  I ordered mine through http://aphroditecu29.com/, I highly recommend them as I received my unit well packaged and quickly from order date!  v181 cost me 799.00

Oqvist, I'm also quite interested in the HPA V200, does the price listed on the Thomann site (768 euros) include the da converter option? Thanks!

Yes it did. the 16-bit version. thomann.de list 799 euro for me though?

Will have some fun trying it out later. I take it that the two headphone inputs is identical and you should only use one at a time?

I was told that the right input is slightly better, as the left goes through additional signal path. 

oqvist, can your compare Head One => DX1000 vs V200 => DX1000 and tell us your initial appreciation

thanks

Haven´t listened to the DX 1000 in a months thanks for the reminder...

Initial impressions so not all that useful but the V200 like the Head One doesn´t have a problem with the DX 1000. Listened to some classical soundtracks, piano, Buckethead Colmas Whitewash they are in the same league and have similar signatures.

LCD-2 is my newest toy but the DX 1000 is very enjoyable also after that meteorite :).

So can´t really help much. Might help to know that the wood matches the Head Ones wood perfectly. Make sure to get the wood version if you go for it!

For the last month or so the DX1000 has been my primary headphone with the V200, sounds good to me.
