First of all, I'm wondering if the Taurus MkII is worth the extra $600. The Bryston BHA-1 is a great amp itself. I will soon take deliver of the Sony HAP-Z1ES digital file player/DAC. I know I wouldn't need the DAC section of the Oppo HA-1, but from what I have read, the amp section is supposed to be very good (just how good I don't know). My headphones: Audeze LCD-3 (latest).
 
Any thoughts, opinions on this little dilemma of mine?
 
Thanks in advance,

There are entire threads elsewhere in this forum (e.g. the Summit-Fi section of the forum) dedicated to the $2,000 LCD-3 and what drives and feeds it best.  Seems to me that joining the discussions there will be much more helpful--in terms of both quantity and quality--than what you might get on a soup to nuts recommendations thread.
