Main testing rig was project Head Box RS plus the external power supply.What amps did you listen to?
Total cost 1200€.
Other stuff were daps and one dac/amp.

I would like to have a listen to the V850.My combo is the LP RS05>Vio V850>Vio V280. Glad that I own one too. Yet to upgrade to higher-end headphones as my current HD650 (and even Mad Dog) has scaled up so much that I am enjoying a lot without FOMO.
In the past month or more I have been busy reviewing stuff at the 1K region , amps and players.
Today I am listening at last to my old trusted V280.
Now seriously guys , this is good , really good I am glad that I own one!
IMO, you should not deprive yourself of having a listen on the synergistic combo V850/V280. Better still if you add a LP RS05 with Femto.I would like to have a listen to the V850.
I am very curious.
Well, anything more than few years in Head Fi world is consdered oldOld?! I just got mine in the last few months, I hope it's not obsolete yet
Yeah, this is a seriously good amp.
Even if new models come out, it will still be a seriously good amp. It's designed and constructed well and does what it is supposed to do. Newer amps might have more bells and whistles, but arguably won't be better.Old?! I just got mine in the last few months, I hope it's not obsolete yet
Yeah, this is a seriously good amp.
Yes but the next generation will surely sound better.
And that's a problem...
Is it better to have separate dac and amp vs integrated dac/amp ? I think former should be better although more costly approach. Views?Yes it will, by Fried's comment. Hopefully I can listen to it sometime sooner or later.
Also, plenty of time before it drops and after more than 5 years I think a new generation isn't such a bad thing. I am glad they are not spamming successors but instead go for broadening the palette.
That's why the new gen starts with DAC/Amps
That is what I like about Violectric dacs and amps. They are stackable. So space is not really an issue.Always better to separate in any case but not everyone wants to give up real estate for separate devices and more cable clutter.
