I have the 788 and am still within the return window. After some research I found the SU-8+SP200 combo as a possible better option. My daily headphones are Hifiman Ananda, HD600, and Grado 325e. I do not use any of the features of the 788 and everything is running balanced xlr except the Grados...

I am running an Aune T1 as DAC and the Valli 2 as the amp. Should they both have the same tube? If not, has anyone running this setup found a good combination?
