Nothing to be sorry about....
I have no doubt that many, possibly even inexpensive, dedicated headphone amps will out perform the 200 as I am using it but considering I haven't owned a set of cans for over 25 years and did not want to spend big money on a pair given I anticipate using them well less than an hour a week on average I am currently where I need to be but do appreciate the information. Your 800s which cost 8X what I paid for mine, are what I would call a high end pair and I like you would want to maximize their potential and my return on my investment.
