ROHM BD34302EKV Flagship DAC for Ultra-Low Distortion
At the core of the VMV D2R MK2 lies the flagship ROHM BD34302EKV digital-to-analog converter chip, achieving an extraordinary total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N) of just 0.00013% (-117dB). This extreme performance ensures that every nuance, from intimate vocal inflections to the thunderous swell of a symphony, is rendered with absolute purity and precision. The D2R MK2 treats every musical passage as a reference-grade event, faithfully restoring the original recording without coloration.
Full MQA Decoding Across All Inputs
The D2R MK2 provides comprehensive MQA and MQA-CD hardware decoding, enabling full studio-grade unfolding of MQA files. USB, optical, coaxial, and AES/EBU inputs all support MQA processing, allowing you to hear exactly what the artist intended. This universal MQA compatibility turns any connected transport into a high-resolution source, preserving the timing and spatial integrity of the original performance.
Professional Clock Management with 10MHz OCXO
Timing accuracy is paramount in digital audio, and the D2R MK2 meets this challenge with a professional clock system. It integrates the self-developed CK-04 clock processing circuit alongside a high-stability 10MHz OCXO (oven-controlled crystal oscillator) sourced from communications infrastructure. With an exceptional frequency stability of ±5ppb, the OCXO virtually eliminates phase noise and time-domain jitter, delivering sharply focused imaging, precise instrument placement, and a jet-black background.
Linear Power Supply with Noratel Toroidal Transformer
The analog heart of the D2R MK2 is powered by a premium British Noratel toroidal transformer, providing clean, stable energy through a fully linear power supply. VMV’s patented adaptive voltage switching technology automatically adjusts to local mains conditions, ensuring consistent, noise-free performance anywhere in the world. The fully balanced circuit layout separates digital and analog domains completely, further reducing interference and enhancing micro-detail retrieval.
One-Touch Best Sound and Intuitive UI
Say goodbye to complex configurations. The D2R MK2 features a one-touch “Best Settings” function that automatically optimizes all parameters for the highest possible sound quality at a single press. The newly designed user interface supports Chinese language display and presents intuitive, clearly structured menus. Whether you are a seasoned audiophile or a newcomer to high-end audio, the D2R MK2 ensures effortless operation, letting you focus entirely on the music.
Comprehensive Connectivity with XMOS XU316
A third-generation XMOS XU316 processor handles all digital inputs with abundant processing headroom. The D2R MK2 supports true 32-bit depth, PCM up to 768kHz, and native DSD decoding up to DSD512. USB, optical, coaxial, AES/EBU, and I2S interfaces are all provided. The I2S input supports native DSD, while coaxial and optical fully support DoP64. Balanced XLR and single-ended RCA analog outputs deliver a robust 5.0Vrms and 2.5Vrms line level, respectively, for seamless integration into any high-end system.
High-Resolution Bluetooth and Audio-Grade Components
Built around a Qualcomm Bluetooth 5.4 chip, the D2R MK2 supports LDAC (24bit/96kHz), aptX HD, aptX, AAC, and SBC, making high-quality wireless streaming a viable part of a flagship system. Throughout the design, audio-grade components—including gold-plated input and output terminals—are used extensively to enhance subjective listening performance. The 1.9-inch fully bonded tempered glass display panel ensures high light transmittance and long service life, while reinforcing the D2R MK2’s refined visual aesthetic.
Exceptional Measured Performance
Every detail is engineered for accuracy. The D2R MK2 achieves a dynamic range of 123dB and a signal-to-noise ratio of 123dB via its balanced outputs. IMD and crosstalk are kept to vanishingly low levels, ensuring a huge, layered soundstage with unerring transparency. From the deepest bass to the most airy treble, the VMV D2R MK2 measures as impeccably as it sounds, placing it firmly at the forefront of modern DAC design.
