Has anyone ever heard of pairing the Audio GD NFB-11 with the HD 800? I was just about to pull the trigger on the Lyr 2 but someone recommended the Audio GD and I haven't heard much about it.- Phillay

Thansk @DavidA. The Chord Hugo is a bit out of my budget although I was considering the Chord Mojo though. Have you used that with your HD 800's?- Phillay

Thanks @ColtMrFire. I really appreciate all the input and insights on all this! It sounds like that's the plan then! I'll be ordering the Lyr 2 and then the Multi 2 a few weeks later! Can't wait!- Phillay

Thanks, I just checked and for the price the seller is asking, I could pretty much buy it brand new right from Schiit and not have to worry if I get any issues. With the exchange rate, its a savings of $13.00 over buying brand new from Schiit. I really appreciate you letting me know about that...- Phillay

Wow I really appreciate that. Who would've thought it would be so expensive to ship an empty box lol! It's alright then, I really appreciate you looking into that for me anyways. If I do change my mind then I will be sure to let you know!- Phillay

Thanks for that info. I was thinking about adding in the PYST cables from Schiits website as well. Thanks for the tips on the ebay tubes too! There is a local store here that sells the Woo Audio WA7 Firefly here (although for much more, but I guess pretty close in price if you add the modi...- Phillay

Well I do definitely plan on driving my Hifiman HE 400 and 400i's with them as well as my AKG K7xx. So are you saying I should get the Modi MB first to use with myJDS O2 and then have my next purchase be the Lyr?- Phillay

So I couldn't help it and have been spending all day looking back and forth at my different options and combos for amps and dacs. I'm leaning more towards the Modi 2 Multibit and now debating between the Valhalla 2 or Lyr 2. Due to my budget right now it looks like I'll have to purchase one...- Phillay

That's funny because I actually do haha. I also have the HiFiman HE-400i and the HE-400 so I'm looking at something to power them all (including my AKG K7xx's). So in this case you think the Lyr2 then?- Phillay

I was meaning a portable player, but I was also thinking of using an old DVD player with optical out to the amp as an at home player. Any better recommendations?- Phillay

Awesome, thanks for the input. I tried looking up the Meier Jazz FF and it looks like its around $405 USD plus the Modi2 Multibit for $250 and shipping would bring me pretty close to $1000.00 CAD. Budget wise, I was thinking about the Modi 2 Multi with the Magni 2 Uber. Would it be better for me...- Phillay

Thank you for that video, you are truly a gentleman! That little spring was definitely what was making that creak! I didn't even know you could pop out the pin from the bottom!
