November 23th Update: power specs
May 25th Update: brochure attached, impedance/power table posted
May 24th Update: preorder option now available for CONUS
https://power-holdings-inc.com/Violectric-V590-Headphone-Amp-DAC-p202322694
The Violectric DHA V590 DAC/AMP starts the new generation for Violectric and introduces a new form factor that is much bigger than the previous generation.
Every big device will be featuring this case or dimensions, meaning the V280 and V281 successors will also come in the same shape as we can see here, of course with different front panels as nobody likes to press buttons that do nothing, except a few DJs. In the same vein of course later DACs and various digital and analogue devices.
There will be a smaller version of this case featuring entry models of the new Violectric line. The RS series for instance (as far as I know) will reappear in the new shape, now under the Violectric brand. Generally the lineup will be much bigger and more diverse.
Anyway, the V590 is a fully fledged DAC/AMP, no part of it is an addon or a "bonus". The pictures I have here are of a prototype.
There will be small changes on the real thing. A dedicated Mute LED as can be seen on the V281 front - will be introduced. There will also be some other changes to the front panel. The glossy outlines for the push buttons (except the power switch ) will disappear.
Every V590 will come with a remote, the only optional upgrade will be the volume control:
choose between default (RK27 motorized) and the same volume control of the US4+ with 256 step reed relay control (+500€)
Let's take a look at some pictures:
DIMENSIONS
(WxHxD) 290mmx80mm (90 with feet)x250 mm
Front 8 mm Aluminium sanded, brushed, black anodized, knobs with a with plastic inlay
case up to 12 mm strong aluminium, brushed and anodized
INPUTS
3 analogue inputs: 2 x RCA, 1 x XLR
4 digital inputs: optical, coaxial, AES balanced, USB
USB allows for up to 384 kHz PCM and 512 x DSD
DAC
2 x 32 Bit AK4490 per channel
New 32-bit Resampler with a dynamic range of up to 180 dB, whoever that needs, resampling settings akin to the V850
POWER and NOISE
8 dB less noise than the V281
2 x 15 Watt PSU, switchable between 115 and 230V.
gain factor 0 dB unbalanced, 6 dB balanced
extended pre-gain settings via DIP switches: -18, -12, -6, 0, +6, +12, +18 dB, same for the line out
pre and post fader now work via the push of a button on the back and not via software control.
max output voltage (balanced output, both channels driven): 32 Volt = 1,8 Watts@600 Ohm
maximum power(balanced output, both channels driven): 5 Watt@50 Ohm
Noise -100 dB / THD+N – 102 dB
output impedance < 0,2 Ohm
damping factor > 250
