Any news on the release date yet?

 

[scottcocoabeach]

I was wondering the same thing. It would be nice to have an update as the announcement was some time ago now.

Fried just mentioned the other day that V850 is "nearly ready to ship". Not sure if that's exact enough for you, but it points to an imminent release.

Concerning DAC V850
 
The first items had been shipped end of last week.
All with the black front panel.
The silver front panels need some more time, I expect end of August.
We are now busy in shipping the pre-orders.
 
Best Regards

Wait, I thought the V800 24/96 worked with windows 8 / 8.1 but the 24/192 version didn't??

What about the former USB 24/96 version? Am I right in assuming that the Tenor TE 7022 is fully compatible with Windows 10 (without the need of a software driver)?

Anyone bought this yet? Or any reviews kicking around?

 

[mulder01]

I guess people have bought it because Fried has sent some out already...
 
Would like to hear from anyone with a v800 on weather they can hear a difference or if it's simply a newer version because the v800 had been out for a while

I saw it last night... I am about to order. But I would love to see some reviews... Anyone have some thoughts or feelings on this DAC?

 

[davidespinosa]

Actual reviews would be great, but it's very new.  Here are some V800 reviews:
