ahy, that’s just a screen grab from the VTV website. Couldn’t even make out the label until you mentioned it.

I have one of these amps. I can ask him. What specifically is the question?Kind of painful to see this discussion keep going around and around. Just email VTV already

Seems like it does indeed include a filter. Someone link me to the article talking about this. I remember reading it but not where.Asked. Though you could also have asked instead of posting this
It includes an EMI/RFI filter but the question is whether the filter circuit is implemented with y-capacitors.Seems like it does indeed include a filter. Someone link me to the article talking about this. I remember reading it but not where.
I finally got around to hooking the D70 directly via xlr to the Purifi and in pre mode and was able to tolerate to around-20bB and the volume was scary loud. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting the most out of the Purifi running out of the D70(s).Have you tried plugging your DAC straight into the amp? I saw somewhere else that you have a D70, I ordered a D70s and was wondering how its 5v output will work if the purifi gets to max with 1.5v input. Eg. Am I going to have to run it at -80db or something silly, and will that much digital attenuation start to degrade dynamics.

It will depend on your room size as well but I don't forsee you having any issues getting to the amp's potential.Interesting, I guess with the 70s having slightly higher voltage out. I’ll be hovering around -40 to -30.
As an aside, you can buy the Ghent IEC and replace the VTV one if you are worried about it adding noise

How do we know this IEC socket doesn't have Y caps?Interesting, I guess with the 70s having slightly higher voltage out. I’ll be hovering around -40 to -30.

Looking at the Ghent cases for the Eval 1 kit, it is identical to the VTV amp case on the rear plate. I assume that's where VTV are sourcing their cases and hopefully the IEC plug.How do we know this IEC socket doesn't have Y caps?
VTV is sourcing their IEC inlet filters from Delta, according to VTV’s website. It’s got to be one of these series, although I don’t know which:Looking at the Ghent cases for the Eval 1 kit, it is identical to the VTV amp case on the rear plate.

Or splurge and spend $5.00 on a Swiss-made Schurter IEC inlet.Interesting, I guess with the 70s having slightly higher voltage out. I’ll be hovering around -40 to -30.

likely, I just figured it would be easy to get it from Ghent as we know it’s the right size.Or splunge and spend $5.00 on a Swiss-made Schurter IEC inlet.
I'm confused. These sockets don't have any capacitors inside for filtering? What is that silver box attached to the back of it?
Hi, wich is the volume level number on your smsl su-9 at max power of the VTV purifi ampli (xlr connected)?Hi Rugger,
I am in a very similar position as you, looking to buy the VTV amp, a new DAC and a new pair of speakers (leaning towards the Klipsch RP-8000F at the moment). This is my first post!
First of all the amp looks well assembled, looks like the teething issues have been resolved. The price has also gone up a bit recently which could explain the difference in quality. At this quality/price level I think it is a no-brainer compared to other assemblers, even for someone from Australia like myself with all the additional costs. I would be keen to get the thoughts of a lot of the members here who have been bashing VTV (with a passion) recently.
I am contemplating the same amp however I have a few thoughts - with the stock input buffers the max capacity is reached at 2.35V, instead of say 4V which is the output Voltage of a typical balanced amp. Would a balanced amp work well with this amp? Is distortion higher at lower output Voltage of a balanced DAC? Is it better if I opt for an unbalanced DAC?
Furthermore, how are you finding the SQ and power levels of the amp so far? Have you hooked the amp up to your larger speakers already to give that a go?
The thing I noticed is that when the NAD M28 was tested (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/...8-seven-channel-power-amplifier-review.15939/) the power output was significantly higher - would it be worthwhile opting for mono-blocks to get more power out of the Purifi modules?
Cheers
