Taurus is an amp not a DAC. Perhaps u mean the Vega?
Opps. Right you are. I'm always doing that. Old age I think. Yes Vega.
I will edit my post above.

I like a lot of phones fed from the balanced output of the HA-1 but the last 3 nights I have really begun to appreciate what a great pairing it is with the PM-1.
I hadn't given the PM-1 too much air time as I just didn't expect it to compete with the likes of the HD800, LCD3 or HE6. Not saying it's better than these technically but with the HA-1 there is a definite synergy which is something I guess Oppo have worked hard to achieve.
Any of you guys loving the combo?

Yup, it's my end game set up.
If you know someone ready to pull the trigger, MusicDirect.com has a silver HA-1 'demo' (full warranty) for $959. Was tempted cause I got my black demo for only $100 off and wanted silver! But think I'll stay pat rather than going thru hassle of selling the black one
Congrats on your new HA-1, word of caution though I honestly don't think the HD-800 is going to be the best pairing with the HA-1 since the HA-1 already trends towards the bright side it wouldn't be an ideal match for the HD-800, IMO. If you prefer that sound signature (wide soundstage for example) I really find the HE-560 to be a good pairing with the HA-1 myself, similar in some ways to the HD800 but also similar to planars which work better with solid state gear like the HA-1.
