V-Moda has this week unveiled its new VAMP analog converter and headphone amp design specifically designed for Apple’s iPhone. The VAMP is designed as a case which combines both a dedicated 150mW x 2 Hi-FI amplifier, and Digital-to-Analog convertor (DAC).
Together with optical audio output and 2200mAh battery, within a solid metal casing for Apple’s latest iPhone 4 and 4S smartphones. Providing five times more powerful than the iPhone’s amplifier and up to 8 hours of playback with the extra juice.
Enhanced Audio Experience
The VAMP is not just about amplifying sound; it’s about transforming your entire audio experience. By integrating a high-fidelity amplifier and a DAC, the VAMP ensures that the music you hear is as close to the original recording as possible. This is particularly important for audiophiles who demand the highest quality sound. The DAC converts digital audio signals into analog, which can then be amplified without losing any of the original sound quality. This process results in a richer, more vibrant audio experience that is often lost in standard digital playback.
Val Kolton, Chief Visionary Officer and Founder of V-Moda explains:
“I have dubbed the last decade of sacrificing pure high-fidelity sound for the sake of mobile digital convenience as ‘The Great Compression’. V-MODA’s VAMP is a flashback to our passion and roots in the analog and solid equipment days of hi-fi.”-“VAMP is a statement that you march to your own drum and appreciate sophisticated sound and style.
People always criticize the quality loss in the analog-to-digital conversion but few consider the advantages of reversing the process. VAMP unleashes the full potential of your music with vibrant, pure, powerful sound for both power-hungry and small headphones.”
Design and Functionality
The VAMP is housed in a robust metal casing that not only provides durability but also adds a touch of elegance to your iPhone. The 2200mAh battery ensures that you can enjoy up to 8 hours of uninterrupted high-quality audio playback. This is particularly useful for long commutes, flights, or any situation where you need extended battery life. The optical audio output is another standout feature, allowing you to connect your iPhone to other high-end audio equipment, further enhancing your listening experience.
Moreover, the VAMP’s design is user-friendly, making it easy to attach and detach from your iPhone. The controls are intuitive, allowing you to adjust the volume and other settings with ease. This makes the VAMP not just a high-performance audio device, but also a practical accessory for everyday use.
The V-Moda VAMP is now available to purchase for $650.
