The right Dac/amp for Sennheiser 560s/6xx and Hifiman Sundara
Ok.. If this works, I'll just need a dac/amp for the above headphones and all I need is an optical IN on the dac to hook up to my optical out from my TV. And an optical OUT to go to my optical IN to my a/v receiver. In my head, I'll be able to use these headphones with enough power to listen to music, movies, and console games which are all hooked up to my HDMI arc inputs of my TV. If this makes any sense, could someone recommend a dac/amp that has these features that produces a minimum of 192khz/32bit with enough power to drive both the Sundara's (37ohms, low sensitivity) and the Sennheiser 560's (120-150ohms) and possibly the 6xx (300-333ohms) ? A remote control is preferred unless I'll be able to control the volume from my a/v receiver... If this will work. It'll work, right?

But with the new universals in the pre order stage and none having been shipped yet, I don't see this drop happening again any time soon, unless Noble has a larger back inventory of the older 6s (which I suspect is u likely and was the impetus for this original drop in the first place -- to clear out inventory ahead of the new announcement of new models).
The 1 plus 2 has better bass (dynamic driver), but the N6 is more natural and the mids and highs are clearer and more resolving. I prefer the Aurisonics 2.5, if I am being honest.
The only thing the Angie has going for it is soundstage, which is larger than the N6 (but not huge). Of those mentioned, it is my favorite.
As an all rounder, the N6 is best of the bunch. If it were more available, the tg334 would be a good alternative, but it is very hard to get a hold of.
Hope that is helpful.
Based on what i've read on the angie and 1plus2, i think i'll strike those off as potential candidates and mainly consider n6 and tg334.
