OK, I know it's a preamp but how hard could it be to convert this to a headphone only amp?

A headfier has had mod done by Cary on his. I can't recall who it was. But the price for the mod was very reasonable. I think it was something like $150.

I was going to get the headphone jack added but then ended up selling it instead.

I have the DJH edition of that preamp. I had Cary put their headphone output on mine. The price of the upgrade was $200 plus shipping. I am not a technical expert but I believe they routed the preamp outs to the headphone jack and install a switch to select either the headphone jack or the preamp outs. It works well, but not quite up to my RKV.
