I hope the title/question doesn't throw anyone off, but I had a little argument with my Dad about this.
Part of his setup is: Sony X111ES --> NAD 1600 receiver --> Hafler 220
The Sony X111ES has headphone outs, so my Dad was arguing that plugging in headphones directly from the source would provide the best listening experience.
But my argument was that going from the Sony> -- NAD 1600 --> headphones would be better
I have very little knowledge of 'the science' of what goes on inside equipment (receivers, sources, amps, headphones). So if anyone could answer just who is correct and with a scientific explanation, that would be great. If anyone doesn't mind, I'd love a long, lengthy reason.
Thanks!
