The Story

A Swiss Army Knife within the Audio World

The history of Solaris goes back to 1982, since then Audio Valve has developed their RKV technology to create what they feel is the best headphone amplifier in the world. With it's optional DAC option, Solaris provides a full fledged desktop system with inputs for USB, MM Phono, multiple Single-Ended analog inputs and 2 balanced XLR Inputs. It includes integrated remote controlled volume, speaker outputs of up to 12 watts per channel and headphone outs for Dynamic, Planarmagnetic and Electrostatic Headphones via a Step-Up Transformer. Solaris perfectly reflects what the Audio Valve team defines as a truly State of the Art product!

The newest revision of the Solaris has been adapted to Audio Valves RKV 3 includes balance-control pot offering +/3 dB and Pre-Out for active speakers and power amplifiers.
