Hi.  I have a Sony D-303 and Sennheiser HD 650 headphones.  I think the headphone output sounds great, but I've heard it suggested that I'd get an even better sound if I got a portable headphone amplifier to use with the optical output of the D-303.
 
If this is true, do you guys have any suggestions?

Added on...my previous post was about the ANALOGUE LINE OUT option with D-303. That is the proper way to use the special powers of this cd player.
For the DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT amplifier option with GoVibe Porta Tube+ you will need this - http://www.mycablemart.com/store/cart.php?c=11&m=product_list [scroll down]. The contact for 'Norm' from GoVibe is jndal@rogers.com. ,  or you can contact Justin at Just Audio if he would make a modified version of AHA 120 with a Toslink / digital jack in - http://www.justaudio.co.uk/contact.html [ in fact I am planning to do it myself with the same request] or contact Vorzuge team with the same request - http://vorzuge.com/?page_id=568 .
