Here are previous episodes where I discuss some of the equipment mentioned in this entry (watching each of these in order will present an overarching 'theme'):
Episode 9: Bottlehead Mainline:    • Mann's Cans Episode 8: Bottlehead Mainline  
Episode 10: Astell&Kern AK320 (digital audio player):    • Mann's Cans Episode 10: DAPs (Astell&Kern,...  
Episode 11: Schiit Yggdrasil DAC:    • Mann's Cans Episode 11: Schiit Yggdrasil DAC  


NOTE: In the beginning of the episode, I mention that I "already [had] the Yggdrasil" when I bought the V281. Later on, I state that I used the AK320 before I got the Yggy.
To better clarify, I purchased the V281 knowing that eventually I would purchase a dedicated DAC. Therefore, I chose not to add the DAC option with the V281.
