Gary, I’ve been using one for over a year driving Focal Elear headphones and find it very good.

Used with a Power Line Lite which became spare when I upgraded my 250dr to a 300dr a couple of years ago so just used as a stand alone unit.

Gary, the DAC V1 only has digital inputs not sure if the SN2 has a digital out mine is connected from the digital out on my ND555 as this is my only source.

There is no external PSU option for the V1.

I own (and like) a DAC-V1 but I never use its headphone output. I prefer the sound of my Headline II powered by a Hi-CAP by a great margin. More transparent above all, but also a more detailed and natural sound. In fact, changing from the NAPSC to the Hi-Cap did not change it much. My phones: Sennheiser HD-650 and Oppo PM-3.
