I have the following equipment - Amp Naim NAP 90, LINN KAIRN PRE AMP (& Cambridge audio streamer & Arcam CD player) but none have headphone socket. Today I bought a Headphone AMP/DAC- Epiphany AcousticsEHP-02Di hopeing this may be the solution but I don't know how to connect so that I can use my headphones and cut the sound from my speakers. Can anyone please help?

Cable with 2 RCA plugs at both end.
Should be able to connect the line-output jacks (RCA) on the Linn Kairn Pre-Amp, to the RCA jacks on the EHP-02D1.

Thank you for your quick and helpful response. Unfortunately, the audio comes out BOTH from my speakers AND the headphones. Any further advice would be gratefully appreciated. .

Yeah, just turn off the power amp. Looks like you could do tape out (to control volume with only your new Epiphany) from your pre, or just connect it to one of the other two free pre outputs (to control volume with both the Epiphany and Linn).

I would have gotten a speaker tap cable made and skipped a headphone amp altogether. That is what I did so as to use my NAD M3 integrated.

The Naim would almost for certain be a stunning headphone amp. I have used my M3 as a headphone amp exclusively for years.
