Would someone please describe to me the differences between using the headphone outputs from a receiver or integrated amp as opposed to using a dedicated headphone amp? I want to know the sonic differences that I should look for so that I can justify spending 200 dollars on another component in my home instead of using my existing audio equipment.
From what I can understand, the headphone jacks on full components are of lower quality when compared to headphone amps. How is the sound affected, SPECIFICALLY? Is the effect the same as that of using NO amp at all (straight from the source) where the treble is scratchier, and the bass is looser, or is it an altogether different type of bad (for lack of a better term)?
