What if I pair the O2+ODAC with my kenwood amplifier (which also has a tuner)? Will I be able to use the Kenwood's tuner? And will it only use the ODAC as DAC and use the kenwood's amp instead of the O2?

yep thats all right, you'll be running the rca output from the dac to the rca input on the keenwood, thus bypassing the the o2 and letting the keenwood amplify and you use the tuner

Matrix M-Stage if your skint, with a DAC of your choice.
 
Got cash... save up for a Sennheiser HDVA600 use it with a Matrix Mini I Pro DAC which is DXD/DSD compatible.
 
Funny enough, I only bought the Matrix Mini for it's DAC, but it does have a built in amp, this is $650AUD
 
Haven't tried it though.. I've been enjoying it plugged into the HDVA 
 
SO, what you could do, is buy the Mini I Pro on it's own, then add the HDVA, or another amp of your choice, when you have funds
 
 
Not a fan of the 700's out of the Schiit's, of all their amps, I thought the Valhalla 2 was the best, but the Matrix M-Stage kicked it in the nuts

How about just getting a O2 not a O2+ODAC

Save up that $90 and get a good DAC (e.g. Resonessence Labs Herus) , JDS is not quite famous for their DAC

Do you mind linking the dac or amp you recommend, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the quick responses.

O2 + ODAC or Fiio E18 if you want portability

that dac was quite expensive tho, that is why I would prefer save up some money and go for some high quality ones http://www.headphonebar.com/resonessence-labs-herus/

I'm confused?

I mean that I was so sure that I should get the Hd700s, but on that other page, people say so many things to make doubt about my decision.
