Hey guys, first post here, but have been using head fi for countless tips and bits of info for many years.
I just purchased my first dedicated headphone tube amp and I was wondering about connectivity. I have a Focusrite Scarlett interface (with 2 headphone outs) that I had previously been using for headphone output and I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to wire the headphone out of the Scarlett to the input on the Lyr. (I want to do this mainly so that I wont need to have main out volume up to listen to the headphones) Seems to me like it wouldn't be a huge deal since the Scarlett headphone out is not heavily amplified and has no power amp, but it would also make sense if this would just be adding microphonics to the chain with multiple amplifiers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
