Hello everybody and happy new year !
I just read all the thread (it took me some time !) and I'm very interested by this Starving Student headphone amp.
I've already built a preamp (UGS balanced preamp, seems well known in some DIY community), and I'd like to add a small headphone amp after it, maybe in the same box (I have room). The jack socket would command a relay that will switch the signal out from the preamp to the head amp instead of the power amps.
I also use a Sony MDR-CD1700 which is a 32 ohm AFAIK.
Do you think the Starving Student would be ok for this purpose ? Or does it require some modifications to accept the output of a preamp instead of the output of a source directly ?
I would at start suppress the volume pot because I would use the preamp's control. What else should I think of ?
Thanks in advance for your advice !
