Battery powered amp for HD800
Advice needed! I'm in the process of going completely off the grid and my source is now sorted with the Chord Hugo.

Given the Focusrite is only £79 that could just as easily mean my existing system is...- Stormfriend

Can I drive headphones directly from the speaker outputs of my amp?
Hi guys, I've resigned myself to the fact I won't be playing music through my normal speaker system for the next few years as anything above whisper quiet seems to annoy my new neighbours (who are very quiet themselves so I shouldn't complain too much). The speakers will therefore sit in the...- Stormfriend
