Spot on. The V200 is authoritative (incl. detailed).

It's a really nice amp, can't wait to hear it when it's fully burned in. Already noticed the treble steadily improving during the first couple of hours.

Imo, BCL is better than 160.

I'm glad that there still quite many BCL supported out there

  I thought it's quite dead now, since none seems to talk about it.

Does anyone have experience of the V200 (or V100) versus SPL Auditor with the HD800? My source is Benchmark DAC1, cabling is LAT powercords and IC300 balanced interconnect.
 
I am interested in a transparent midrange with excellent bass definition and smooth treble. Reading other comments, the V200 sounds very interesting but I'm a bit concerned with comments about it being a "warm" amp. I like warmth but want to retain maximum midrange clarity as well. The Auditor seems to be a bit hazy/recessed in this area. I also think bass definition is a bit loose and treble a tad obvious as well.
 
I was wondering if Lehmann Black Cube is the way to go?? I've already got a unmodded Mk1 Matrix M-Stage but have read the the BCL sounds quite a bit better than that.
 
Cheers

 I think the V100 will be the amp for all the hot treble hps, and definitely will help with the bass. Super quiet, and great 3D sound stage (lol, maybe the 3D is my Apogee DAC).

Has anyone done any direct comparisons with the V100 vs V200?

I'm getting the V200 next month, if you can wait

 

[Naim.F.C]

Might have one myself by then doh! Lol. Either way, I'd love to read your impressions and a comparison of the two.

I did. I bought the V100 first and then my dealer sent me a V200 to try. They have the same signature sound but the V200 does it with more power and control. The bass in the V200 was deeper and better control to my ears so I kept the V200 and sold the V100.

Does anyone have experience with HD800 and Grace m903 headphone amp compared to V200?
 
 
Not sure how big of an improvement would V200 bring to the mix.

Maybe you can find a Violectric distributor in Berlin, and check for yourself.

John Willett (former Sennheiser guy) seems to swear by the m903 for the HD800.

Good idea. Should be in the town in few weeks so will grab the setup with me there. Didn't think about that

Sounds promising. Max Schlundt (an audiophile selling hi-end gear in Berlin) also recommended this combo.
 
I really enjoyed it when I've heared it first time at his shop.
 
 
Trying to 'tweak it to the max' now.

I have a Review sample coming of the V200 and will do a writeup in a few weeks after I give it the usual run in and I am looking forward to hearing and doing impression on the V200. Hopefully I will have it in a few days as it was shipped today.
