I would like to use this to drive my Hifiman HE5se. I see that the O2 headphone amp has Standard and Medium model versions, and that the Standard version is the recommended for non IEM use. This DAC/Amp combo seems to only be offered in the Medium version judging from the specs of the gain. So basically i want to know if this will drive my cans properly or should i buy the O2 Standard version and the SDAC separately. I currently have the Audioengine D1 which is similar to this unit since it's an DAC/Amp combo which is really convenient since i have my speakers connected to it and when i plug in the headphones it turns off the signal to the speakers. It is not clear to me how this works here and if it uses the same implementation. On a similar note, I don't really get how you can "stack" these devices if i buy them separately. if i will get the devices separately (DAC and Amp), i don't really get how i can have my speakers and my headphones connected to the system without having to unplug and plug the in/out RCA since the DAC only has one set of RCA outputs so i will have to constantly switch between the cable going to the speakers and a cable going to a DAC... I must be missing something here... Please enlighten me :) Thanks, Eli
