Here's the link to the English page. The company behind the Darkvoice line of headamps, Orphean Sound Lab in Chengdu, China, has been working on a new website. Looks pretty nice. Fittingly, the website's background is black. Here's a post on their forum with some new pictures of upcoming...

Thinking of upgrading to an HD800 soon, does anyone have any experience driving them with a Darkvoice? Might just upgrade to a B22... what are some thoughts regarding this? Thanks!

Hi everyone,   I'm fairly new to tube amps and I hope someone can help me out. I purchased a DV 332 together with some extra tubes to complement my senn hd650. I removed the stock tubes and I'm currently listening with Western Electric WE 403a  and Russian Audiophile 6s19p-v. tubes. Now I...

This morning I turned on my headphone amp and noticed I wasn’t getting any sound. After checking out everything I noticed a a familiar electronic burning smell and saw that one of the longer tubes in the middle had a black hue to it. After taking off the bottom panel I saw that the base where...

Anyone have any experience with this pairing? I'm running HD580s w/ Keces 151 DAC & Darkvoice 332, and am looking to upgrade to the HD800s. Will this combo hold me over for a while before I get the funds to upgrade my amp & source? Thinking of Beta 22 in about a year. Thanks!

What are the black metal things that are covering my tubes on the amp? Just got the amp out of the box and wondered...Cause in pics I see people always have the tubes shown proudly..   Probably a dumb question but want to know if they should stay or remove them...maybe they are there for...

Not sure if its the right section sorry in advance if not :) Hi all, All this adventure started with buying headphone for my iPhone and Will finally cost me an arm and a leg. My girlfriend dont like that i burn So much money For my sole person.... So my portable/desktop hybrid rig Need to...

I just picked up some HD650's from Amazon and need an amp.   I know there are like six hundred and fifty billion threads about the HD650 and amps on here, and I think I've done a lot of digging and reading, but I keep getting confused about some things.   I'm looking to stay at or around...

Hey, i was wondering what type of amp would work for the 325i. Someone's selling it cheap second hand and i was wondering if either my Darkvoice 337 or ZERO would work well with it. Any recommendations? Tried to search but couldn't find anything relevant. Thanks in advance.

Is the Matrix M-Stage the best amp for $250? I think it's a solid state amp. this will most likely be used with HD 650s so i'm not sure if a SS or tube will do me better.    On a side note I really wish there was a sticky thread with best amps at each price point. The same for headphones. I...

Hi there,   I did a lot of reading lately (great forum btw) but still cannot decide on what amp should I get for my HD650. The biggest decision factors are:   1. I have around $350 to spend. 2. I have sensitive ears, esp to high frequencies and high volume. 3. I like deep, extended...

I posted this review over on the LD site a few weeks ago and several folks have asked me to post it here as well. This review takes you from ordering through burn-in and tube rolling. You will see time breaks, these are from additional postings that updated the review as I went along. I freely...

Hi. I recently got in a trade a Musical Fidelity X-Can V2 amp (traded for E9). I use it with HD600 and Beyer dt880/600 cans. The amp sounds ok, but not significantly better than the inbuilt amp of my external sound card. I am trying to decide between selling it and buying Darkvoice 336i or...

Hi there! So I am completely new to the whole "Hi-Fi" stuff - never owned a headphone-amp or anything.   Now as you can tell from the title i'm lookin for a tube-amp for somwhere around 400$. If there is another one, I just dont know about, please let me know ... I'm not limiting to...

Hi friends!   I would like to ask those who experienced both (including DT-880-600Ohms v.) which pair of mentioned headphones are more bass-delivery capable? I have a feeling of certain lack of bass notes depth in my setup (Darkvoice 3322, soon to be eventually upgraded to Little Dot MK IV...

Just to get some info out of the way, my Darkvoice 3322 amp is burned in, purchased almost a year ago and I decided to buy some new tubes since one of my Chinese tubes started to hum.   I recently purchased some new tubes (Svetlana 6S19-P (NOS) // GE 6AK5w (used) ) for my Darkvoice 3322 amp...

Simply put, my La Figaro 332 Classic isn't working.... Comes no sound out of it..... Can I do anything about it or is my money gone in the wind ? Bought it from Luckyfrogaudio, a ebay seller.... But I can't return it there, they don't even exist anymore..... So if I can't fix this somehow, I...

Hello,   Anyone here using this Valve headphone amp with Senn HD600?     Kind Regards.

Hello all, I am new to the forums. I have just picked up a pair of the title stated cans, love them so far, not even broke in yet:) I can tell already that I will be wanting an amp. My highs get muffled when I crank the bass. I will be using these on a PC, for movies, games and of course music...

Hello,   I'd love to hear some thoughts on the Darkvoice 3322 paired with the Beyerdynamic DT880s.  I listen to alternative and indie rock with some electronic and some occasional rap thrown in.    The source would be a computer feeding a DAC (not sure which one yet.)   Thanks, Walker

hi, i just auditioned a couple of china made amps, namely little dot mk 3, darkvoice 3322 and darkvoice 336. my setup was netbook alac files -> audinst mx1 -> amp -> hd650 blue dragon recabled.   SOMEHOW, with the amp, or just through my audinst headphones out, the sound either had VERY...

I'm looking to buy my first real headphone amp. All I have right now is a stereo receiver and too many headphones. Headphones are: AKG K701, Shure SRH-840, HFI-780, AD700, JVC RX900 and RX700. I also have plans to later pick up SR225i and ESW9. I need some recomendations for amps around...

Fitz's posts on modding the Darkvoice 336 are well worth a read. I'm curious if anyone has modded the DV332.   In particular, I'm curious whether anyone has determined what's going on with global negative feedback in the DV332. The lack of a very great difference in sound when tuberolling as...

I’m in the market for a new tube amp, OTL for under 400$. I’ve shortlisted the Darkvoice 3322, the Audiotailor Jade and the Little Dot MKIV (so far). It will be used mainly for 600ohm Beyers, but it would be nice if they were good for low impedance headphones as well. (The amp will be used...
