What does a DAC do?

Before your music hits your ears it sits inside your media player, or on a compact disc as a series of digital blips and dashes. A Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) converts your digital music files into analog sound. This is how you are able to hear your music. A lot of devices have built-in DACs, but they are limited in their conversion capability. The Sennheiser HDV820 overrides your device’s DAC and delivers clear and powerful, highly detailed audio with crisp highs, lush mids, and full, complex bass.

Next-generation sound technology

A work of precision German engineering,  the Sennheiser HDV820 Headphone Amp builds on the accomplishments of the HDVD 800. This headphone amp is the perfect companion for your high-end headphones. The headphone amplifier features a high-resolution digital-to-analog converter with stunning 32 bit resolution and a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz. The amplifier can also process DSD256 files with a frequency of up to 12.3 MHz and features various audio inputs and outputs, allowing you to choose the best connection for your audio devices and headphones.

The perfect companion for your headphones

This is exactly what high-resolution headphones have been waiting for. When you connect a pair of headphones, like the HD 660,  to the Sennheiser HDV 820, you will hear exciting new details in your music, old favorites sound refreshing and new. A guitar player’s finger’s moving on a fretboard, the tap of a drumstick on a cymbal, the breath a singer takes between verses -- no matter what genre you enjoy you will hear music exactly how the artist intended it to be heard -- clear and powerful.
