What advantages would I get in adding a headphone amp between my preamp (Art DJ-Pre II) and the headphones (Sennheiser HD 599)? The preamp has a 'Gain Trim' dial, which I tend to keep around 0 or 2, so I don't really miss a volume dial. Never really wanted or used the minimal EQ buttons or knobs that come with some amps either.
It seems to me that getting a little amp (a headphone amp or a small, used vintage amp) wouldn't really add anything and it arguably might just add more wiring etc. to remove from the fidelity of the music, but am I mistaken, am I missing anything? What benefit would adding a headphone give my setup.
