First let me respond to the replies, thanks, and,
I would like to stick with MQA, especially a DAC that fully unfolds/converts MQA files.
Portability is not the top concern, lugability is probably sufficient. :)
A good match, SQ wise is a top criterion.
I will do the mods necessary/available to improve the 800's.
I got the 800's today. My initial impression is very good.
I can hear the 6 kHz peak on some songs.
I was pleasantly surprised that my laptop can drive them adequately.
My list as of today, in no particular order, includes the Meridian Explorer 2, Mytek Liberty, iFi xDSD, Dragonfly Cobalt.
