Hello
@someyoungguy,
Another great review of yours about G111 and Violectric v226 I stumbled upon
here.
I suppose you remember we had very similar opinion on A&K SR35 in this
thread. Since then, I am trying to find a similar sound signature as SR35, described in that thread, but as a desktop DAC/AMP solution without a battery. I hoped that Violectric v202 will be a solution for the AMP since I read a lot how Violectric amplifiers have that 'black background' or 'blackness' between the instruments signature, but now I am a bit discouraged since you pointed out about this overwhelming bass in v226 (I suppose similar could be expected in v202, I see also in v380 thread it is mentioned as well...). I suppose it could destroy part of that clarity/blackness I am looking for.
I see you like very much Violectric Chronos. So how does it fit into this what I am looking for? How Chronos (standalone) or connected to v226 amp compares to SR35 DAP? In terms of clarity, speciousness, blackness between instruments, relaxed non-fatiguing mids and highs...? You know what I mean
Or simply, what would be an recommendation for desktop DAC/AMP solution without battery which would share the same/similar sound signature as A&K SR35 DAP?
Thanks in advance
