Violectric DHA-590 2 Pro
High-end headphone amplifier with DAC
With the DHA V590 2 Pro, German Violectric has created a headphone amplifier capable of driving some of the world's best headphones with almost unlimited dynamics, resolution and definition. This is a distinctly pragmatic product, where nothing is included if it does not add value to either sound or build quality as well as durability. It is the German attitude at its very best, and has resulted in a design that is both classic and inviting to use in everyday life. The Pro version of Violectric DHA V590 2 Pro is equipped with 256 relays in the volume stage, which drastically improves channel separation and thus the stereo perspective.
The digital part of the Violectric DHA V590 2 Pro is extremely well built and includes a completely newly developed 32-bit resampler and reclocker as well as dual 32-bit DACs – one per channel. In addition, they use a very high-quality power supply to feed both the amplifier and the digital part a noise-free and voltage-stable signal, so that the good components get their due. You can also drive almost any headphone with the DHA-590 due to its powerful 50 Volt internal power supply, and yet they've managed to make it incredibly quiet through a very low amount of internal gain. Another trick of the hat is their high damping factor that allows full control of the bass in your headphones.
