Awesome thanks for the assurance. I just got my v281 and partnered it with the Marantz DAC. It truly is a great match.
Now onto the next question. I have observed that the balance knob (?) on my unit is acting weird. If i twist the knob to the right, the right channel (either via HD800S or via amplified hifi speakers) does get louder as expected, and I hear the left channel a lot less. Now when I twist the knob to the left, its another story: the left channel does not get louder as much as the right channel did, and I do not hear the right channel losing much gain as well. Is this a defect on my unit?
I did reset the knob to its default position and checked for channel balance. It seems alright when everything is at default. Its just weird that twisting the knob to the left does not give me the expected resulting sound. Can somebody here try it on their v281 and let me know if it does anything different? Obviously I'd like to know how yours perform before I breathe onto somebody's neck down there at my local distributor's.
Addendum: I used different songs, as well as dual mono pink noise to establish a hypothesis.
