The DHA V3802 is a new top device in the Violectric range. It offers a state-of-the-art D/A converter and a balanced headphone amplifier and a pre-amp function. The D/A converter is a new development with the ESS-Tech ES 9026 PRO chip set. It includes 4 paralleled 32-bit D/A converters per channel with a dynamic range of 124 dB and THD+N at -110 dB.

The latest findings from the multiple test winners from Lake People, Violectric and Niimbus were implemented in the headphone amplifier.

DHA V3802 not only offers a powerful headphone amplifier, but also:

Lowest Noise - through a very small amount of internal gain. This makes the amplifier's self-generated noise inaudible.

High Output Voltage - through 50 V internal operating voltage. Therefore ideally suited for high-impedance headphones deserving high output voltage swing.

High Output Power - thanks to powerful amplifiers that offer far more power even the most demanding headphones would need. So best suited for headphones with low impedances as well as magnetostatic headphones.

High Damping Factor - due to lowest output impedance. Therefore the ideal match for difficult to drive headphones without negative side effects and with the guarantee for a uncompromising frequency response.

Joshua ★★★★★

The new DAC chip handles my 24-bit hi-res files with such clarity that I'm hearing details in old recordings I'd missed completely. The balanced output gave my Sennheisers a noticeably wider soundstage compared to my previous setup.

Andrew Z. ★★★★★

I've had plenty of amps that hiss or smear detail, but the balanced output on this one is dead quiet and keeps every layer of the mix intact. The pre-amp function is a bonus I actually use daily to drive my powered monitors, and the DAC handles hi-res files without any harshness.

Riley ★★★★★

My aging ears are finally getting the full picture with this DAC—the balanced outputs pull out layers in jazz recordings I've had for decades and never heard clearly. The pre-amp function means I've ditched my separate switcher entirely, and the volume knob's precision is a small joy.
