JAVS nano V

This thread is for discussing the JAVS nano V.

 

My own questions:

The JAVS nano S (also known as Dr. DAC nano) has been noted to have some hiss.  Is the nano V silent when it's supposed to be?

Otherwise, how does the nano V sound (through the headphone port) compared to the nano S?

The nano V has volume controls on it.  Can the volume still be adjusted with the volume controls on my Mac keyboard?

Will the nano V drive AKG K701 headphones to sufficient volume levels?

I don't think these DACs have sufficient juice to drive the K701 properly.

The Nano-S features an AD8397 opamp (a pretty powerful opamp), the same as my AMB Mini3 portable headamp.

 

Mini3 does provide sufficient loudness for K701, but I don't consider it powerful enough for them.

 

The Javs DAC can only do worse than Mini3, which is a 3 channel active ground design, vastly superior to entry level opamp implementations.

I received my JAVS Nano S and there is no hiss.  It mounts easily an both Mac and PC.  The sound quality is astounding.  It can be controlled via PC/Mac sound level controls.  The output is more than adequate to drive my headphones to painful levels.  In short, it does exactly what it's supposed to.  A solid little product.  I did not know what to expect when I ordered it, but I have been pleasantly surprised.
