I bought this to listen to my vinyl on my Hifiman HE-400 phones. It does a great job of driving them with a very neutral and I can hear detail that my £5500 worth of amp and speakers don't pick up. The JDS Labs would cost $191 shipped to the UK. I bought a really nice version from a UK based eBay supplier (macwidow2011) - Swiss made board, neutrik connections, ALPS pot, RCA inputs and outputs with 1/4" jack - all for £109 shipped.

Your speaker system is picking up that detail, unless it is quite old. The difference is that headphones are right on your ears so quiet details lost when sitting feet away from a speaker are easy to detect.
