One thing you will notice about the front is that it no longer has the volume knob that the V850 has. This allowed the owners of the V850 to tweak the volume while it was still in digital form. It is a nice feature, but not one that everyone is going to use, and not having it on the RS-06 does have its advantages.

Great review! Sounds awesome, I’m sure, but BLEH is it ugly! The weird font/logo etching in weird areas is so hideous. The LEDs look tacky and could easily be higher quality without adding hardly anything to the cost. I certainly wouldn’t want this eyesore in my rack. I’m sick of “value-based” equipment looking like crap.

It has the typical LakePeople look. Don’t forget this is the PRO line and not the consumer’s line. A lot of people like this kind of design but personally I don’t either. That’s why I pay more for the Violectric 🙂
qwak
…PRO customers usually don’t care about “reference series” written 3 times on a front plate :)…it is really ugly…I would pay extra 50 just to get rid of all those lines and blah blah signs…I like Violectric products -they are ugly too but in a way one can like, but this is too much 🙂 (If someone from LP/Violectric is reading this)
Jordan
Awesome review! Always enjoy reading them even if I can’t afford them. 🙂
Although I just so happened to be looking at picking up a DAC and was highly considering the Violectric V800 to pair with my V200 and HE-500 headphones. I see rs-06 is only $90 more than the V800, so how would they compare sound-wise? Is this worth the extra $90? Thanks, Jordan.
Dave
I haven’t had the pleasure of hearing the V800. I know L definitely prefers the V850. So, with the difference that small, I would go with the RS 06
Dave
I think you are all crazy. As long as it is functional and well built, who cares how it looks?

Quoting from the “Technical Data” section:
“Digital outputs:
– XLR, transformer balanced, according to AES 3/11;
impedance 110 ohms, output voltage > 4 Vss
– Cinch, coaxial, according to IEC 958/AES-3id,
impedance 75 ohms, output voltage > 1 Vss
– TosLink, optical according to EIAJ RC RC-5720
– optional 96 kHz USB output”
“Analog inputs: 2 x XLR, electronically balanced, impedance 10 kohms”
Did you notice that this doesn’t fit to a DAC?
Seems you used a data sheet from an ADC piece of gear…

I am considering some amps/DACs to pair with the Beyerdynamic T90 but I cannot make my mind since I am trying to keep the cost of amp + DAC under 1000$. The question is which one has more impact on sound stage and imaging? amp or DAC? With regard to amps, I am thinking of Bakoon HPA-01M, RSA Raptor, La Figaro 339, G109S and Beyerdynamic A20. Based on your review on Bakoon HPA-01M and 6moons’ review on RSA Raptor, I think both have great sound stage and quality but if I go for one of these two, I have to choose a cheap DAC. The other 3 amps that I am considering are cheaper and allow me to go for better DACs. Do you have any suggestion?
Danni Veng
John, what did you end up with if I may ask?
Eddie
Well I think it looks great! F I had a problem with the logos d just paint them out.
Great review as always Thanks. ????

It not ‘ugly’ at all. It’s industrial and functional and each can see that as they will. That poster should realise the difference between people’s personal preferences rather than blurting out their own as some sort of fact.
