    The V550 PRO edition is confirmed in the manual. Any ideas about when and where can we pre-order that?

    Astell & Kern SR25: The next A&norma player

    Has anyone tried HD6XX or HD660s? Can SR25 drive them easily via the 2.5mm output?

    Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet

    Very glad this digression could be helpful. I still want to make it clear that I'm not an "anti-HiRes" audiophile who ignores the role of the format in high-quality playback. As @project86 has mentioned, how much improvement you can get from a superior audio format depends on the "resolving...

    Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet

    Couldn't agree more. Also a huge fan of RR. The recordings of Manfred Honeck/Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra sound fantastic and show us how high the modern recording technologies can reach in terms of SQ - even at 16/44.1. Although many boutique recording companies use DSD or Hi-Res PCM as...

    Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet

    Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet

    Does anyone have a chance to compare the performance of the DAC part of DHA V590 with some well-known dedicated DACs like Mytek Brooklyn DAC+, Benchmark DAC3, Chord Qutest or others with retail prices around $2K? If the DAC part of V590 is on par with or even slightly better than these DACs, one...

    Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP - Blue Velvet

    More eager to know the performance of the pure analogue section - might be a good indicator of the future HPA version of V590.
