I want to listen to CDs from the library mostly. I have a DVD player with rca , digital, and optical outputs.headphone is hd580 300 ohms.I probably need 100mw or more power for the hd580.The Fulla 2 looks nice but its 40mw at 300ohm looks anemic. Anyway less than $200 is ok and closer to $100 is even better. I probably will be a bit disappointed compared to my very good vinyl rig but I want to take advantage of the thousands of CDs available at my library.

Vali 2 is better. If you are listening to CDs you will appreciate a Modi Multibit Das to go with it. Here is my Vali 2 & Modi Multibit stack I use for computer music.As you can tell, its a bit muddied out with 9 pin to 6SN7 adapter and Wywires ICs and USB.
I reckon the Schitt does a good job on the Senn 600's or are they still in the mix? No more Rega TT?
Real nice system as listed.

I need a better refined sound in digital since my main source is my xerxes x and 17d2.
Seems the multibit has more resolution.I learned a long time ago to start with the source when making upgrades, otherwise I'd be just making the SOS sound louder.

I am very happy with my Bifrost Multibit
My Modi Multibit and Vali 2 Schiit stack can drive all my headphones with ease and sounds very nice,.
If you feel a bit more flush, go Bifrost Multibit and Lyr 2.

Don't know, but just looking at the picture, it seems well appointed.
At your price range, you may have to take a chance. However, having toslink and USB and full size headphone output should be a requirement.
Have you looked into just using your computer to play the CDs? That's the cheapest route of them all.
I have separates in that price range, but what a pain with all the little boxes and connections.
