I am enjoying the technical and Math discussions on this thread even though most of it go over my head. From a listener's perspective and this is what really counts in my humble opinion, I will share my experience. 

I had a chance to play with a Blu2/Dave combo for an afternoon a while back. I started playing different tracks that I am familiar with on the Blu2/Dave and all sounded sublime. I was using HD800S headphones plugged straight to Dave.  Then I disconnected the Blu2 and to sum it up, the music still sounded good but boring! I felt that the liveliness of music is gone. This is what I mainly felt  by dropping the Blu2. It is not important to go into audiophile terms regarding resolution and soundstage etc. What really matters is the musical enjoyment that the Blu2 offers and I expect the HMS to deliver even more of that.
