Decided to pull the trigger on a V200. Heard it pairs well with the HD800's... we shall see!

What DAC will you be using?

 My Bifrost until I hear how the new Matrix X-Sabre is. Most likely I will be going with the Concero though...

 At the moment it comes down to cost. I'm almost tapped out for buying myself 'toys'. Need to throw the brakes on a bit. I've already bought 3 $1000+ headphones and well over $1000 in gear in the past two months. My toy 'fund' is almost depleted!

I'd go for Concero for V200 since you don't need balanced.

The V200 sounds better into a balanced source if you have the opportunity to ppick up a source with a XLR input it sounds really good with the v200. iuse it balanced with my Oppo BDP95

And this is where I'm most conflicted when it comes to a DAC. The Concero seems like a great value. But I do want balanced source... Hopefully the Bifrost doesn't completely suck w/ the V200 so I can start depositing more money into the toy fund.

I don tuse dac so i can say but the Oppo BDP95 IMO sounds best with a balanced inout form the amp. I think my Taboo MK111 going single ended also sound good through the V200 so its really a matte of what your system need most. The XLR interconnects are also more money. I use King Cobra by audioquesrt and they are 250.00 meter but I bought these as new ones for about 125.00 and they are excellent cables.

I purchased one from the FS section and just got it a few days ago. Man, these sure complement the D7000s well ! Next purchase shall be a V200 for my two babies

If you need balanced output, the Matrix X-Sabre features a similar but slightly improved sound signature as the Concero (same family of Sabre chip) and features more inputs.

That dude/dudette should seriously start pleading the fifth.
 
Edit: Wait is that even possible if the individual him/her-self is asking the incriminating question?
