HD800S paired with SMSL C200? (alien.top)

Hey everyone,

I decided to bite the bullet and grab a set of the HD800S while they're on sale. My current equipment just involves the SMSL C200 dac amp which is powering my current headphones (ATH R70X).

I've been doing some more research after ordering the HD800S and I've been seeing a lot of people saying that you "need" a Tube Amp for these; is this true by any means? I don't have much experience with them.

Thank you--finally!!! There is one other person who understands the placebo effect. By the way the few blind studies done kind of confirm what you said.
