Thanks John for yet another excellent review!

This dac seems to not garner as much hype attention as some other companies. Personally, I hadn't given Violectric much of a look before this month. Now I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a 800/200 combo ... and my disposable income is looking accusingly in your direction.

I think the Violectric V800 does not garner much interest, besides Hong Kong, as it is hard to audition plus upon audition it doesn't shout at you and say, listen to all my digital artifacts and hear how exciting I sound. 

 

It is a DAC that just sounds correct and has the long lasting appeal once it is in you system. 

 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!

Cheers Spkrs. That sounds exactly what I want from a DAC. My only very slight hesitation is with respect to the 88.2 limitation. A few of my favourite albums are 88.2. I would normally be using optical but if my desktop pc ever dies I think USB is the only option on my laptop at the moment.

Not a big concern I guess.

Thanks Pudu :)

 

I actually use the Hiface2 and have no limitations.

Okay, I'll keep that option in mind too.

I did, but as far as I could determine mine does not frown.gif .

That's okay, I have a 7 year old macbook which does have that capability which I can fall back on should the need arise. Thanks for the suggestion. I look forwards to your impression of the V-Duo. What cans are you feeding these into?

as far as i know i'll be the first to bring the combo, v800 v200, or any of those two, among the loca head-fiers (Trieste in 2 weeks and Zagreb afterward), hope to arouse some interest and eventually lure them to bring as much gear as possible to audition, new to headgear, i must admit that i'm more of a listening room-fier, although starting to appreciate spending more and more into headgear

 

if anyone from those locations would like to audition, pm me

Not that I recall. I did in my V200 (with LT1381 opamps) and it didn't make any difference whatsoever. So I didn't bother with the V800.
