Sounds good, looks good and stacks wellMe too (mine is V280 though). It seems quite a few of us like the V850 as dac.
I missed out on the used Corda Soul that recently sold on this very forum, so I checked Ebay every day for a month or so and got lucky!A few months ago, I was very lucky to find and purchase a virtually unused HPA V281: after a 1-1/2 to 2 year search. -> ->
That's not a lava lamp on top of the V281 is it? If yes, far out and groovy man!I missed out on the used Corda Soul that recently sold on this very forum, so I checked Ebay every day for a month or so and got lucky!
Now, the driver link in the papers that came with the device is outdated. Does anyone have an up to date link? I can't find it on the Power Holdings or Violectric website.
EDIT: The link is apparently this one, but does anyone know if the Final Edition has the Tenor or XMOS chip inside of it? I can't see that information in the manual.
It absolutely is! (Just noticed that both get pretty hot though, so it might not be healthy for either in the long run...)That's not a lava lamp on top of the V281 is it? If yes, far out and groovy man!
When you talk about the XMOS chip, I don't know anything about that. Does that pertain to using the built-in USB dac? I also have the F.E. version but never use the built-in dac. Just use mine as a preamp and occasionally as a headphone ampIt absolutely is! (Just noticed that both get pretty hot though, so it might not be healthy for either in the long run...)
Turns out it's the XMOS chip in the Final Edition so right now I'm thoroughly enjoying a very physical and deep ear massage from this thing. How deep? Well, let me put it this way... there's apparently an ultra low bass note at around the 1 minute mark in Black Mambo by Glass Animals that I didn't notice before. There's also a rather feint triangle playing in the left channel in The Iceman by Artless Venture that I also didn't really pay attention to with my old amp. Looking forward to discovering more things in more songs!
Yes. I use it as an AIO. I don't even know if there's such a thing as a V850 Final Edition (because now I have to have a matching polished edge), but if I ever come across one maybe I'll consider it, though I'd honestly be surprised if I hear a difference.When you talk about the XMOS chip, I don't know anything about that.

I'd say "I have an edge you can polish" but a statement like that could probably be misconstrued. Seemingly a case where discretion is the better part of valorYes. I use it as an AIO.
