I have the V280 and Utopia, great combo in my opinion as long as you avoid setting the V280's gain too high. I've used both Gumby and Yggdrasil with the two with no complants.

thanks!

I would avoid anything Schiit offers except the magni series, since they are really cheap....

There have been measurements of the Yggy floating around and it is terrible.

I own Yuggy and totally disagree with you're statement. The Yuggy's meaurments most be terrible in a great way becase it sounds awfully good to me and never fails to impress others.

Literally can't wait to get my hands on the V280. Am going to pair it with a Resonessence Veritas because I loved the V200/Concero HD combo I had back in the day. Excited to hear the improvements.

I’ve heard the V280 is perhaps slightly warm/darker sounding so perhaps the Sabre DACs pair well with it. Ugh...I really want to try a V280 now!

Someone is selling a V280 on head-fi right now for I believe $950, which is criminally cheap! Even though I already have one I’m tempted to buy it just on principle. Jump on it!

I saw that post, no funds till Friday tho ugh! Lol

 

[iamjaymo]

I know...thinking about it but gotta sell something. My soul perhaps???

This amp pairs really well with clean neutral dacs, warm dac would make overall sound too boxy and lacking sparkle and precision. Unless u have silver cables i dont recommend warm dac with this amp.

Well thank goodness...my tube DAC probably won’t work well then. I’ll just sit tight and save a grand.

How does the V280 compare to Ragnarok and GSX-mk2?

Hey I have a V280 and have never used balanced before. Is it possible to use the balanced output in the front when only RCA inputs are used?

Thanks

Yes!

 

[Violent_Sneeze]

Yes!

Cool thanks. Still can't believe I got this amp for $950! Works flawlessly too ahaha

 

[iamjaymo]

Nice pickup...I also thought quite hard about getting that amp myself. Glad it worked out for you.
