Too warm? Not to my taste anyway. Feels pretty much just right.
Just make sure you go balanced asap - it really makes a huge difference, especially in dynamics.
Awesome. Thanks again.

How about a DAC? Wouldn't that matter too? The optional DAC that comes with the V281 is not one of the best, I hear. So I did not order one with mine, which is currently attached to an Yggy. Just wondering.
Didn't Fried offer to make you something suitable? At least you're guaranteed it will work, and Violectric doesn't charge excessive amounts for their cables.
Can anyone recommend a good XLR extender cable to use with the V281?
I have a cable 4 meters long that works great with my Woo WA22 but screws the circuit on the V281. Causes overload fault and if you remove one input signal it still makes music on both sides. It gets really screwy. Remove the extender and everything is fine.

As I can see, there are two pins connected together: pin 2 and pin 4.
This is not correct, you need four independent wires, and the shield/case should not be connected to any pin!
I think, this is the main reason of your problem. Just get correct cable and be happy
Wiring specs from V281 manual:
Interestingly it doesn't screw the Woo WA22 signals so I can carry on using the cables with that amp.
Nice to know (V281). I have one arriving next week and will be auditioning the Utopia.
