Hello everybody.
The new USB 24/192 module for V800 is now in production and can be delivered end of April.
The USB 24/192 module uses the same input circuitry which can be found on the USB 24/192 module for the headphone amps V100 / V181 and V200.
It is the Tenor TE8022, although this chip is not so high regarded it performs perfect under Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8 and MAC OS.
Tenor TE8022 also features "asynchronous mode".
This is nice to have but for my opinion not really neccessary as DAC V800 features the superior resampling mode - either way, make up your own mind !
The biggest problem we had to face during construction was the support from the chip company which is really terrible ...
Please note that dedicated drivers are required which can be downloaded here:
www.violectric-usa.com
We have first reports from headphone amp users who claimed glueless installation / operation.
We will offer 2 models of DAC V800 in the future:
DAC V800 with USB 24/96 for approx 925 EUR (excl. VAT)
DAC V800 with USB 24/192 for approx 1000 EUR (excl. VAT)
The new 24/192 module is retrofitable into ALL existing DAC V800 units !
So, if somebody wants to upgrade there are 2 ways to proceed.
- When you are familiar with a screw driver do it on your own. Is nothing but screwing and plugging a cable (Torx T8, T10 and 3mm allen key required)
- When you want to be sure that the new module is installed and checked in a professional way ship it to the factory (Germany) or to your US distributor.
The prices:
USB 24/192 module for DAC V800 = 168 EUR (excl. VAT)
If shipped to the factory the above price includes the installation and check.
Please note that we have to charge shipping costs to your destination (approx 15 EUR for Europe, 30 EUR for the USA, 40 EUR for Asia)
Special offer to those who purchased a DAC V800 from 01.01.2013 until now = 126 EUR (excl. VAT)
If there are any further questions dont hesitate to ask.
Best Regards
