The new HDV 820 is Sennheiser’s next-generation digital headphone amplifier. Designed and manufactured in Germany, this masterpiece for audiophiles and music lovers is the perfect addition to our superior headphone range. Sophisticated components result in even greater precision and near-perfect sound quality. In addition, the HDV 820 features groundbreaking digital-to-analog conversion technology. This ensures consistent, symmetrical signal processing and extremely low harmonic distortion for perfect, unadulterated listening pleasure.
Two characteristics characterize an authentic pursuit of perfection: the goal is never reached, but along the way exceptional intermediate results can be achieved that will undoubtedly write history and help shape the future. Such as the HDV 820, which will undoubtedly change the way you listen to and experience music. That is, if you are lucky enough to have a pair of headphones that are able to reproduce the extreme quality of the HDV 820's audio signal as it should be.
When the audio components you develop represent the best of the best, you have to go far to find real challenges. And yet that is exactly what we at Sennheiser did when we set out to design the HDV 820. It was pioneering work, exploring new technological areas, working to create an even truer sound for our most demanding customers...
The HDV 820 sends almost everything to your headphones. So it depends on the latter whether you get to hear it. The same instrument twice but with a slightly different timbre ... The distance between the musicians in an orchestra ... The tension of the singer before he starts his song ... It's all there and if you want it, you get to hear it.
High technology naturally leads to high emotions. At the heart of the new HDV 820 is the incredible ESS SABRE32 DAC (digital-to-analog converter) which, with an even higher resolution of 32 bits and a sampling rate of up to 384 kHz, leaves the entire previous generation behind. The amplifier can also play DSD256 files up to 12.3 MHz.
That an audio component that guarantees such a pure sound experience also has to impress visually is a given for Sennheiser. That's why the HDV 820 has been given a new anodized black finish with LEDs that are designed to perfectly complement the latest version of the crown jewel among our headphones, the HD 800 S. That HD 800 S, between you and me, is also the perfect partner for the ultimate audiophile listening experience.
With a wide choice of audio output options, including XLR3, XLR4, 6.3mm and a 4.4mm Pentaconn plug, you’ll easily find the best way to connect your headphones to the HDV 820. Brilliant performance is guaranteed with digital sources (optical, coaxial or via USB) and it’s also equipped with balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analogue inputs. The HDV 820 is supplied with a specific power cable that varies from country to country.
