I was thinking about this topic this morning, and a headphone amp might not be able to feed the proper load for the signal to the amp, so a real preamp is probably best. Aslo, the line out on a headphone amp might bypass its volume control, thus leaving the source to control the volume (assuming the source has a volume control).
