Violectric "Chronos": Mobile DAC And Headphone Amp with Hi-Res and DSD256

Violectric's new DAC / headphone amplifier is designed to replace the often weak integrated DACs and amps that are part of mobile devices. The housing, milled from solid metal, is closed off by glass panels at the top and bottom.

Its digital-to-analog converter chip works with resolutions of up to 32 bits/384 kHz and also decodes DSD 256. Two times 30 mW output power into 32 ohms or two times 5 mW into 600 ohms aim to allow for the operation of even the most demanding headphones.

Measuring just 44.5 x 24 x 10 millimeters, the Chronos simply connects to the mobile device via one of the three included adapter cables – USB-C, Micro-USB or Lightning. After that, it starts playing instantly, as no installation of drivers is required. Thanks to a maximum power consumption of 200 mA, it also only puts a minimal strain on the battery of the device used for playback.

When playing audiofiles in the PCM format, the font lights up green; high-resolution DSD files are displayed in blue. Buttons on the side of the device allow for volume-adjustment.

Compatible with Android, Apple, Smartphones, PC/Mac

Included in the package the following n. 3 cable adapters: Micro-USB to USB-C, USB-C to USB-C, Lightning to USB-C

Introduction to Lake People

Established in 1986, we have since become your partner for professional audio electronics. Following our motto “tools - not toys”, we achieved highest reputation during the past years amongst our customers. These are private studios, broadcasters and TV companies. Also airports, congress and exhibition centres count on the reliability of our products made in Germany. This all began under the roof of Rosgartenstrasse 13 in the city of Konstanz. Here, three young guys started with the development and manufacture of limiters and noise gates but not too successfully in the beginning. The commercial survival on a very low level was made possible by the production of headphone amplifiers. From 1989 on, the production range was extended to level matching and balancing amplifiers such successfully, that it came essential to move to larger premises.

Since 1991, the new address read: Haidelmoosweg 52. Due to the developement of the first german 20-bit A/D and D/A converters in the beginning nineties, the name Lake People resounded throughout the land. Suddenly, the company was regarded as a high-tech brand, with a highly positive effect on its public reputation. The growing know-how led to many new products in the analog and digital domain during the following years. Although some projects turned out to be flops, most devices met the customers' requirements, with the effect of continuous growth of the company. By the end of the nineties the 140 m² of Haidelmoosweg 52 went cramping.
Again, a move to new premises came necessary. As it was obvious that rental facilities would not meet the demands, we decided to put up our own building. The company site was constructed in 2000 in a new industrial park in Konstanz, Turmstrasse 7a, just a hundred metres from the lake. Also in 2000, Lake People was transformed into a Ltd. company.
