Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think those are the type I bought a couple years ago. They were alright but I really don't like over-the-ear Princess Leia muffs like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I've decided on this one as my headphone amp/DAC: A second-hand one but supposedly as good as new. It's arriving tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I don't have XLR on my speaker amp, so I'll use the RCA outputs. but for now it's mainly going to be a headphone amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,333 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Yes, I do (I thought I explained it on the previous page). Today I'll be playing Mythbusters. I will find out if there is a difference between the headphone output on a speaker amp and a separate dedicated headphone amp. If they are a scam then I still can use it as a DAC for my Cambridge CD player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
