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?

- Has anybody paired any of the above 3 with the Jot? If so, how do they sound?
- With the Jot and the 800S, am I likely to hear great improvements with each one (I know some of this depends on my own ears and critical listening) but I think you all understand what I’m asking... Is there a lot of room for improvement DAC wise with any of these over the others
- Lastly, is the Jot a good enough amp to actually benefit from the SMSL D1?
Any guidance or advice is more than welcome! Thanks guys!
