Why the HDV 820 Stands Out
The HDV 820 isn’t just another headphone amplifier; it’s a game-changer. Powered by a high-quality ESS SABRE32 DAC, this amplifier boasts a resolution of 32-bit/384 kHz sampling rate, ensuring that every note is reproduced with stunning accuracy. Whether you’re listening to your favorite vinyl or streaming high-res files, the HDV 820 transforms your audio experience into something extraordinary.
Imagine sinking into your favorite music, where every strum of the guitar and every whisper of the vocals feels like it’s happening right in front of you. The HDV 820 is designed to complement Sennheiser’s high-end headphones, such as the flagship HD 800 S and the new closed-back HD 820. Together, they create a soundstage that’s wider, richer, and more detailed than you ever thought possible.
Crystal-Clear, Low-Distortion Sound for All
But wait, there’s more! The HDV 820 is not just for Sennheiser headphones; it’s compatible with any wired headphones that crave clean, controlled power. Thanks to its symmetrical circuitry design, the left and right channel signals remain independent, virtually eliminating interference. This means your headphones can handle those big sonic peaks without distorting, giving you a listening experience that’s as pure as it gets.
Plus, with a 5-stage gain switch, you can easily match the power output to your headphones’ impedance. Whether you’re rocking out to heavy metal or chilling with some smooth jazz, the HDV 820 plays nice with all types of headphone models.
Versatile Connections for Every Music Lover
Let’s talk versatility! The HDV 820 is ready for all types of music sources. With balanced and unbalanced analog inputs, along with optical, coaxial, XLR, and USB inputs, you can connect your favorite devices without a hitch. The premium ESS Sabre digital-to-analog converter effortlessly handles high-res music files up to 32-bit/384kHz, ensuring that your audio is always top-notch.
Power Up to Four Pairs of Headphones
Need to share the love? The HDV 820 can power up to four pairs of headphones simultaneously! With a four-pin XLR output and a Neutrik combination socket that accepts a 3-pin XLR or a 1/4″ headphone plug, you can enjoy your music with friends without compromising on quality. Plus, it features a stereo pair of 3-pin XLR outputs on the back, allowing you to use it as a standalone preamp/DAC with compatible audio gear.
