Pretty much impossible: "Production of the Conductor 3 Reference is on schedule and we’ll start shipping in mid-September. Pre-order will end a few days before then. However, as we’ll be shipping in chronological order, (ie the earlier you place an order, the earlier you will receive it)...- Gradius

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
Sorry for bump, just saw this one. Depends actually... The HD650 is capable of 500mW (or 0.5W) continuous max (as per EN 60-268-7 aka IEC 60268-7:2010), so it depends. If RME ADI-2 DAC output under DIN 45580 specs, then, and ONLY then, is 200mW (or 0.2W). HOWEVER, since RME ADI-2 DAC is a...- Gradius

I was looking into TEAC UD-505 and now THIS. However, lacking a Master Clock Generator (10MHz) input on Burson is somewhat disappoint (at least to me) specially at this price. UD-505 sells for $1600, and the NeTwork version (NT-505) for $1800.- Gradius

RME ADI-2 DAC Thread
I'm pretty sure it would be better, but now I'm looking into the new EVGA NU audio card as it uses the newer (and updated) AK4493EQ (better than AK4490EQ used on RME). It costs just $250, and I'm thinking to get that one and use Burson V6 vivid with (it just need 2 OPAMPs too). AK4490EQ is...- Gradius

EVGA Nu Audio soundcard
Using stock OPamps (they sucks) is pretty much a waste btw. Go for Burson or other discrete opamp (at least use v5i or Muse).- Gradius

They are compatible. Not true (on the contrary) if well done, and improvise (even more) the sound quality. The OPAnnnn (ANY opa, LME, etc) are far from the best.- Gradius
