With the jumpers in, the headphone output on the A-100 is connected directly to the same place as the speaker terminals.
(The speaker outputs have slightly lower impedance because they use fatter wires.... but that is not going to matter with headphones.)

@bequietjk I actually got a detailed email from Jeremy from Garage1217 about his idea for the custom power adapter box too. Somehow I managed to overlook it in my inbox.
Sounds like he’s thinking about a box with speaker cable terminals and a 6.3mm input and output. He thinks it will be about 4”x4” in size. He said output impedance should be about 3.5ohm, so all in all it sounds pretty perfect for our needs.
I’m on the fence about whether or not the speaker cable terminals are necessary. Those with the older A100 model already have adapters to connect straight to the terminals on the amp, so I think maybe we could keep the device smaller and perhaps cheaper to produce by not including the speaker terminals inputs. I’d like to get others opinions on this though.
I told Jeremy I’d try to gauge the level of interest in a custom product like this. I also invited him to join our discussion in this thread to answer technical questions. If he doesn’t join us here, I can relay questions to him.
