I know how he feels.  I'm always talking myself in and out and in and out of something.

Man this sucks, I have my V200 but my dac hasn't come in yet... been a week and all I can do is look at my V200.  I did get to read through the manuel and played with the volume knob and that thing is solid.  When I try to turn it up its a little difficult.  Is it like that with all of your V200's also?  Or is it just like that at the beginning?

I feel this pain as well. I'm sick of listening though my laptop, while I know there is so much potential yet to be tapped.

You can connect your laptop to the amp, for now.

The HD20 an the new HD11 is said to be a bit more lively in the sound than the HD10. The Rega DAC, if compared to the HD10, is a bit more vivid. I have not made up my mind if I prefer the Rega or the Hegel feeding the V200. The HD10 is less "quirky" than the Rega. Maybe I'll listen to the HD20 or the new HD11 from Hegel.
 
The Hegel company have a lot of high quality gear, but no headphone amp...

How is the synergy with Hegel DACs? I see you have a HD10, which is quite rare around here. My speaker gear is running off a HD20 right now. It´s a very good DAC. My guess would be that they are a good match, pretty similar voicing I think.

How??? I only have XLR cables...

  I didn't get the V200 with the dac option.

- DVD / BD / CD player?
- RCA / composite / component (use 2 of them as audio) cables?

A trip to Best Buy or Radio Shack will be enough to grab one of these cables from $5 to $20.

395 for a wire?
 
Wow, if someone new to Head-Fi asks me how to divide their budget I'll tell them 60% interconnects, 15% power cable, 15% USB cable, 5% amp, 3% source, 2% headphones.

 

[WNBC]

To be safe, how about 70% on the interconnects
