Dual DAC Design, True Sound ReproductionThe VMV D3R uses a dual-DAC design with two ROHM BD34302EKV chips.BD34302EKV is famous for its natural sound. It is different from AKM or ESS, thanks to its special audio architecture and the best digital processing technology in the industry! Let the sound approach the recording studio infinitely! Dual chip independent processing brings stronger dynamics, wider sound field and purer background.
VMV D3R, Precision Architecture, The Art of Signal PurityEvery part of the circuit is designed for purity. Digital and analog sections are fully separated to avoid interference. Dual toroidal transformers provide stable power. The fully balanced design helps reduce noise and keeps even the smallest details intact.
Mastering-Grade Clock System, Accurate timing is key to digital audioVMV D3R uses a built-in 10MHz OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator). It keeps a stable temperature to avoid drift and improve accuracy. With ±3ppb stability, it reduces jitter and phase noise. This results in clearer imaging and more accurate sound positioning.
Dual Toroidal Transformers, Two custom toroidal transformers powerThe digital and analog circuits separately. This prevents digital noise from affecting the audio signal. It also reduces interference and keeps the background quiet and clean.
True Preamp Mode, Balanced Analog Volume ControlThe VMV D3R is more than a DAC; it is a high-fidelity, fully balanced analog preamplifier. Full balanced signal path: From differential DAC output through analog volume control to XLR output, the entire chain maintains symmetrical balance, effectively canceling common-mode noise and delivering a deep, silent background.
Intelligent Sound Presets, Instant Audio PerfectionOur engineering team has baked their optimized "BEST SET" into the D3R. With a single touch, the system automatically configures filter slopes, sampling rate strategies, and gain compensation. No more menu-diving-just the hardware running at its absolute peak performance.
The Flagship Suite, T2+D3R+P2In the VMV system, each unit plays its role:VMV T2 (CD transport): stable signal sourceVMV D3R (DAC): accurate decodingVMV P2 (headphone amp): clean and stable outputTogether, they deliver detailed sound, a clear soundstage, and smooth dynamics.
Wide Connectivity, Unlocking MQA and Ultra-High ResolutionDriven by the third-generation XMOS XU-316 processor, the D3R supports 32-bit depth, PCM up to 768kHz, and native DSD512.MQA Full Decoding: USB, Optical, Coaxial, and AES all support MQA/MQA-CD hardware decoding for studio-master quality. Universal Input: 125 supports native DSD, while Coaxial and Optical fully support the DoP64 protocol.
