AND even though the headphone ‘outs’ are SE, I can still use the V200 back XLR ‘ins’ from the DAC for higher S/N ratio and greater voltage for difficult headphones such as Beyer DT880 (600 ohms).

From your V220 step brother!

There has been a saying, mid fi chases details, submit fi seeks flavors (colorization with a neat name of house sound), which could be true for so many gears, and cables but with exceptions as well, as Soulnote 3 Series which is the brand with least coloration to my ears at submit fi level. US doesn't have any soulnote distributor till this summer. It is definitely the dac to watch!

What is "submit fi"? Do you mean Summit-Fi?

The sound is so amazing that your ears just give up...

Small update - I decided to put everything on a table separate from my desk. Kind of a first step before I go and look at racks or other furniture. This way I can control the PS Audio gear from the couch. My biggest worry is whether the headphone cords would reach to where I sit at the computer. Thankfully they do. Next order of business is to get a good 4pin extension cable so I can listen to phones on the couch and maybe some curtains...

I never noticed that. You have a good eye.

If I had my way, "submit-Fi" would mean "audio for sadomasochists."

‘Submit fi’ is expensive gear that has to be submitted as collateral to a bank loan officer .

At some point, I’d love to know what @bcowen is planning to do with all his royalties from Headfi?? Fancy Boat ? Fast car ? More Fotons?

I'm going to invest it all in Dogecoin.

The world’s shiniest, glitziest, perfect measure / abysmal sound solid-state headphone amp !!

Yeah, exactly. Not.

Not DVcoin…where your portfolio just hums along…?

Until it catches on fire and burns up. Kinda like, um, Dogecoin.

My current work system - small, but quite a nice sound

Headphones are Earsonics SM3v2.

Yes sir! Best amp I've found for IEM use.

The Jolida DAC is a gem. Replaced the output capacitors with some vintage ones (aerovox paper and wax) and man does it sing!
