    Hugo2 is a pretty bad match for the 800 even with a tube amp in the chain. Shoot for a DAC with a full-bodied sound and a smooth treble. It will make the 800 much more enjoyable and will also showcase how good its timbre is, despite being tipped up in the treble.

    @EagleWings So probably something like a BF2 I imagine?

    @dncnexus while the Bifrost2 has a full-bodied midrange, its treble is not exactly smooth. It is a better match than the Hugo2, but not the ideal.

    I listen to acoustic music and opera almost exclusively (classical 98%). A bifrost would be a good trade in financially haha... I am hesitant towards schitt dacs as I hear they have to be on all the time, however

    Unlike the Yggdrasil or Gungnir Multibit, which require a few days to reach their optimal performance, Bifrost2 requires only a few hours.
