I use the Conductor app on my Aurender. But Roon is definitely something to consider as well, thank you 
I’m also keeping my eyes open for a used McIntosh MQ 112 equalizer
I use Roon on the dac output for my 150 , the Hd 800 S really benefits from the bass boost.
But using the same Rose device as output for your speakers will be a problem.
I use the dsp in my active speakers to put things linear again

Yes, the HD800S only needs a little push in the bass to be perfect 
I don’t actually plan on using Roon; I actually quite like the Conductor app. I just need to figure out something for that little bit of bass offset.
Tomorrow I’ll connect the C47 to the RD160 to see how the headphone output performs. It’s no match for the McIntosh DAC (ten years old), then the Vincent head amp.is significantly better.
yes, 160 —> C47 —> headphones vs 160 —> Vincent —> headphones

I’ve tried a few things, but the C47 as a headphone amp only isn’t really an option. However, I still have a Focal Elear, and it sounds great with the RD160 and Vincent KHV200 without any tone controls. I think I’ll sell the HD800S and use only the Focal.I just need to buy some longer RCA cables so I can give the Vincent a better spot I’m still very happy with the HIFI Rose gear, it sounds amazing
