Streamer v DAC - which is more important?
DACs went out of fashion a while back....   and now they are one of hottest categories of hardware discussion and sales.   I've been using a DAC since the late eighties for good reason,  they handle multiple digital sources and often sound better ... 
“Never thought I’d use headphones”
The great thing about headphones is there's nothing wrong with owning a few pairs....   they all have different sound signatures so it's like swapping out speakers but they take up a lot less space.  I now have 3 pair including a pair of 600 Ohm B... 
Quicksilver Headphone Amp
I will be sure to post my impressions.    I am just going to connect it to my c-j Classic 2SE via it's tape out so I can enjoy all sources.    It looks like it's built like a tank,  just like all QS amps.   I am using a pair of Klipsch HP 3 and a ...

I never thought I would use phones , and use them so often.   I'm recently divorced....   right before I moved out I purchased a pair of Grado RS2e and an Objective 2 amp.     Great portable combo, I knew my gear would be boxed up for months so it...

Try connecting the Headphone amp's input to the fixed level Tape out of the Yamaha and it should sound better.   You don't want two volume controls in the circuit if you can avoid it 
Klipsch  Headphone Pre-amp Hookup
I was interested in this amp / DAC  so any comments would be great.   I just picked up a pair of Ebony Klipsch HP 3 headphones and they are awesome !!!   If you like Klipsch Heritage speakers check them out.   If you hate Klipsch, still check them... 
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
Definitely Klipsch Heresy IIi...... 
Klipsch Heresy IV
I really like my Heresy III. , one thing that I like about them is they are not ported and can be placed close to the rear wall.....  I would love to hear from a current H3 owner who demo'd the III and IV side by side.

McIntosh MA8900 DAC not outputting more than 44.1 kHz
Also the OPPO should take a SACD and output it in 24/88.2k to the McIntosh if the player is set appropriately.  Any 24/96 or 192k on an attached drive should also play no problem.   Enjoy
