You have Tit HD , i have onboard dac, and i can fit only pci-e x4 internal on my mobo due to gpu. So i'll probably be going with odac+o2 combo. Custom built or shipped from epiphany - havent decided yet. Also i'll have quite a bunch of stuff to play with this weekend (O2 , maybe few others from already mentioned guy who does custom build them)

If the builder is reputable, I suggest custom built O2 as you can usually ask for features like custom panels (wood, acrylic, ect) or outputs like RCA.

i had assumed the amp circuitry in the Titanium HD was enough for headphones rated at 80 ohms (peak to 110 ohms) and 96 dB/mW sensitivity. but i'm beyond my threshold of knowledge here so feel free to not be so coy.
