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?

Axel Grell - Audiophile Innovator & World Leading Headphone Legend
Axel Grell: An Audiophile Innovator For over three decades, Axel Grell has crafted headphones designed to produce world-class sound—at times, with little-to-no regard for price consideration. Pairing high-quality components with cutting-edge product designs, Axel Grell created some of Sennheiser’s most sought-after headphones. Throughout his mission to enhance the clarity and transparency in the product lines he produced, Grell garnered a devoted following among members of the audiophile community for his close attention to detail throughout all parts of the manufacturing process. By the 1990s, his unwavering quest to design the most neutral headphones possible catapulted him to legendary status amongst those obsessed with high-end audio. A New Brand Breaks Ground With a True-Wireless IEM Continuing to push boundaries in the audiophile space, Axel Grell has founded a new brand—grell—with a launch product that promises to impress. Partnering with our team at Drop for design and manufacturing, grell has responded directly to a new generation of audiophiles searching for immersive, transparent sound in a smaller in-ear form factor. Combining convenience with uncompromising sound quality, the Drop + grell TWS1X IEM is a pair of earphones unlike any other. Equipped with custom components and a host of never-before-seen technologies, the TWS1X optimizes all areas of the modern listening experience—from responsiveness and transparency to noise-canceling and call-taking. True to Grell’s vision, it does all this and more at an accessible price. Elevated Audio—For Everyone “I've always tried to create the best possible acoustical experience for the money, no matter the price point,” says grell founder, Axel Grell. “With grell, we put our resources solely into achieving the best sound possible, emphasizing the acoustic experience of the product and providing audio that is fine-tuned to the user’s ear. With our focus on audio alone, we carefully selected custom drivers, plus dynamic transducers used in headphones 10-times the price, shipped directly to the consumer in simple, economical and eco-friendly packaging. And this is true for each and every pair of grell audio earphones—giving the user access to high-end quality, whilst being conscious of the overall price.” Drop + grell: Collaboration Meets Next-Generation Axel Grell created some of Sennheiser’s finest headphones—including our very own HD 6XX and HD 58X, as well as models in the high-end HD 800 Series. Along the way, he earned praise here at the Drop by meeting our community at the all-too-rare intersection of accessible price and standout performance. With world-class products already behind him, we can only expect his next releases to raise the bar even higher. That’s why we’re proud to be the first brand to partner with grell—and why we couldn’t be more excited for future launches—to elevate the audiophile experience together.
