Sennheiser HDV 820 digital headphone amplifier

Sennheiser HDV 820 - Fully balanced headphone amplifier with analog and digital inputs for a natural listening experience

The HDV 820 is the next generation of Sennheiser's acclaimed digital headphone amplifier, designed to further enhance the Sennheiser audio experience and perfectly complement the range of high-end audiophile headphones. The result is the ultimate in sound quality.

It is the absolutely perfect playing partner for the two high-end headphones Sennheiser HD800 S and HD820. These two audiophile headphones can only demonstrate their tonal potential with this headphone. It is therefore an absolute "must have" for these two headphones.

The perfect partner for reference class headphones
The pursuit of perfection is characterised by two characteristics: It never ends and it can give rise to extraordinary, forward-looking ideas. The HDV 820 will certainly change your attitude about how you listen to and experience music. Provided you have headphones capable of transforming the HDV 820's extremely high quality audio signal into equally great sound quality.

The mission: be better than the best
Once you've developed state-of-the-art audio components, it's a challenge to outdo yourself. To master them, the HDV 820 has taken us into new technological areas and brought us closer to the truth.

The sound: great headphones can show your whole class
Practically everything - that's what the HDV 820 delivers to the headphones. The different tones of two otherwise identical instruments. The space between the individual musicians of an orchestra, the tension before a singer sings the first note. With the appropriate headphones, all this can be rediscovered.

The Technology: Unmatched
The higher the technical standard, the greater the emotion. The heart of the new HDV 820 is the outstanding ESS SABRE32 DAC (digital-to-analog converter), which outshines the previous generation with an even higher resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz. The amplifier also processes DSD256 files at up to 12.3 MHz.

The design: The eye senses how good the sound has to be
The HDV 820 is also a visual delight, suitable for an audio component that enables such an unadulterated sound experience. Its black anodised finish with white LEDs harmonises particularly well with the look of our high-end HD 800 S headphones - the ideal partner for thrilling audiophile listening sessions, by the way.

With its wide range of audio outputs - including XLR3, XLR4, 6.3mm and 4.4mm Pentaconn jacks - the HDV 820 makes it easy to make the optimal connection to your headphones. It works great with digital sources, whether they're fibre-optic, coaxial or USB.
