Sennheiser HDVA 600

 

 

Sennheiser unveils HDVA 600 analog headphone amp, wallets tremble in fear

 

Along with a few IFA 2012 announcements, Sennheiser peeled back the wraps from its HDVA 600 headphone amp, an analog flavor of the previously unveiled HDVD 800. Like its sibling, the freshly revealed hardware sports a glass panel for peeking at its innards and an anodized aluminum exterior, but leaves the digital inputs behind. While the 800 carries a hefty $2,000 price tag, the 600 will set customers back a smaller -- but still substantial -- sum of $1,600. Both units are tailored for the likes of Senn's flagship HD 800 headphones, so they should easily be able to drive cans that require up to 300-ohms. The pair won't be available in the US until later this fall, but in the meantime, you can breeze past the break for specs and more details in the press release.

Abyss Headphones

 

 

With the runaway success of the Audeze LCD-2 and HifiMan planarmagnetic headphones, Joe Skubinski of JPS Labs must have decided to get into the act himself. His new company Abyss Headphones just introduced the Model AB-1266. This combines an aluminum exoskeleton with tuned woods and magnetically affixed lambskin ear pads, hookup cabling by JPS and diaphragms of the ultra-thin planar type.

Aqua La Voce/La Scala

 

 

Итальянский производитель высококачественных ЦАПов обрёл в России эксклюзивного дистрибьютора — им стала компания Concert Ltd.

Модель La Voce — модульный конвертор, работающий в чистом классе А и оснащённый асинхронным USB-интерфейсом, способным

принимать сигналы до 24 бит/192 кГц, а также коаксиальным (RCA или BNC), I2S PCM (RJ45) и оптическим входами. В качестве опции —

AES/EBU. Уникальной особенностью La Voce является возможность индивидуального выбора платы с разными чипами: Burr-Brown PCM1704,

Philips TDA1541A, Analog Devices AD1865 или Wolfson WM8740. Топовая модель La Scala имеет схожую коммутацию, но построена на четырёх

конверторах Burr-Brown PCM1704-K и оснащена выходным каскадом без обратной связи на лампах Telefunken ECC82. В обоих устройствах

используется эксклюзивная цепь DFD, которая исключает манипуляции в цифровом тракте (upsampling, oversampling, цифровые фильтры и т.д.),

способные пагубно сказаться на естественности звучания. Вся продукция изготавливается вручную в Италии.
