I took that serious and I will go for HDv 820 which is black
Is that a engine piston top right ?
Well spotted…!
Yes it’s from the engine used in the de Havilland Dragonfly Rapide. There used to be a little aircraft museum in Morton in Marsh some years ago. Interesting little place and I bought it from there when visiting the Cotswolds, thought it would make an interesting ornament.
Nice one…
That’s a good deal if you get the BT2 thrown in as well.
Well I am sold on this RME DAC, combined with my Meze 99’s music’s never sounded this good. I think I may sell my main system, this beats it’s musically all over and no room or family to compete with. Outstanding.
It’s what I’ve done. I so rarely listen through speakers anymore.
Uniti 1 will go into the AV rack and my listening will be ND5 XS2 > Violectric V281 > Meze Empyreans
Just received , as soon as my HD800S are back from the service it will be tested properly
Thanks @belhifi Brussel !
Looks great, I almost pulled the pin on one last week at a great price, but went with Heed in the end. Are you running it straight off the NDX or your SN2?
Goes nicely with all the black Naim boxes. A silver HDVD800 wouldn’t have done at all
Hi Dunc
I know you’ve been busy with your Vitus, but how’s the V281 coming along?
Thanks Mike! It was a demo model hardly used. I’m running it straight from NDx , second audio output.
The color inspired me for sure I’m very happy with hdv820
Two new pairs of pads ( for my Sennheiser M2) : 10quid directly from RPC.
I was enjoying it, but had to pinch the xlr cable i was using with it, to use on the rega.
But once a get sorted i will be back enjoying it once more, as it is a fantastic headphone amp
Mike, are you running your headphone amp straight it from the streamer? What analog output in the settings have you chosen - din + phono?
Had you used a Naim Headline (or Headline 2) before?
If so, how does the HDV820 compare?
Yes, it was like very short journey with headline 2, unfortunately I didn’t find any differences compared to SN2 headphone output.
I haven’t listened HD820 with my HD800S yet (they are under the service ) but I can tell you that nighthawk sounds incredibly better with hdv820 .
