Probably best idea is to find a balanced cable.
Plenty of DAPs lol. Your budget is the first questionI have a Harmony 8.2 and a Vega on the way. I am looking for a DAP that can drive these directly without an amp. What are your recommendations? I am thinking that if the DAP can drive the Vega, it should be able to drive the H8.2 easily.
Oops.. forgot about that. I am thinking around $750.Plenty of DAPs lol. Your budget is the first question
I use the Pioneer 300R, $450 One Day Prime Shipping right now. You can find the silver version cheaper on eBay which is what I did. I use it with my Lyra II, was recommended it by @SeeSax who uses it with his Vega's. Only downside to it can be battery life when using WiFi other than that it's fantastic and sounds greatOops.. forgot about that. I am thinking around $750.
iBasso DX200 for $869. Versatile (modular amp system for different sound signatures and power reqs), most powerful as a standalone DAP, and some prefer it to the SP1000 and NWM-1Z (or however you spell the Sony one).Oops.. forgot about that. I am thinking around $750.

Nope but check user Twister6's reviews and comparisons, www.twister6.com, he goes on depth. I believe DX200 is quite a bit ahead from almost everything I've read.Thank you. How does DX200 compare against Fiio X7ii which I gather also has modular amp system? Anyone has tried Vega with both DX200 and Fiio x7 and has a preference?

I would totally agree, I have the DX200/amp 3/Andromeda and it’s an awesome combo. Hoping to have the Vega in a month or so.If you can find one in the for sale section I would pick up a dx200. I was able to get a dx200 and an extra amp 3 for $700. Amazing sound on both Vega and Andromeda.
Just a note, amp section, under the first pic it says Lyra II instead of DoradoMy take on the Campfire Dorado : https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/campfire-audio-dorado.21894/reviews#review-19748
