dacs make a big difference 2 sound of your hifi,they r 1 the most important links in a hifi,the dac in the hdvd800 doesn't do that amp or the hd800s any justice at all.the hdvd800 has been built 2 a price point 4 the market, as a result of this its the dac that has suffered,it's just an ok dac,the thing 2 do is 2 go out and home demo a good dac, or a few good dacs,u will hear a BIG difference in the sound . yesterday I was comparing the hdvd800 dac and my NAIM dac again,the difference IS night and day,if u want 2 get the best from ur amp and hd800s u need a better dac.How do you comapre these dacs through HDVD-800 headphone output or as a stand alone dac wich means XLR outputs from HDVD-800.You can't compare dacs when you are listening both dacs from HDVD-800 headphone output.
