They are. To quote the manual: Both XLR outputs transmit the monitoring signal unaltered[...].

Does anyone know if the outputs on the back are Through / Loop outs?

Gahh!! So wish I had 2 grand to drop on one of these! but, alas, I have not even close to the extra funds needed.... Oh well that's why the Nad 3020 and good used speakers are around

Very enjoyable and informative review of the Phonitor.  Hope you continue to produce more interesting reviews on high-end gear.

I'm all for guns when used properly, and when I'm not facing the wrong end of one.

My office system is:
- MacBookAir playing ALAC with Decibel
- Meyer Audio StageDac
- Meyer Audio Concerto (headphone amp)
- Grado RS1i and Beyer T1
 
Mainly listen to Rock, Hardrock, Jazz, Pop and Progressive.
 
Would the Phonitor be a relevant upgrade to the Concerto? If not, wich alternative even without crossfeed as the StageDac already has that function.
 
Budget up to 5.000€.
 
Thanks.

someone buy this for me.
 
jesus thats cool.

There is no way live without crossfeed, Phonitor is really great.

I love the look of this amp and I've almost pulled the trigger on one a half dozen times. The only thing holding me back is its output impedance of 9Ω, since a large number of my headphones are 50 or less.

David seems to like his TH900 with this amp: http://www.head-fi.org/t/634201/battle-of-the-flagships-58-headphones-compared-update-audeze-lcd-2-revision-2-6-4-13#user_TH900

An interesting video Jude. However today we have software implementations for this kind of device - I doubt with the very same effects though, but maybe a more advanced thinking. For example, FIDELIA's FX headphone module. More importantly, I noticed the Heckler&Koch T-shirt you are wearing, which proves that a world class intellect is lurking behind it. Do wear ear protection however!
 
BTW, I have a Centrance M8 on its way and an HK .45c too. It is possible that great minds think alike?

Reporting back after getting one and trying it with the TH900: it mates absolutely flawlessly. There is also a -20dB switch which is there specially for low-impedance headphones. I'm using mine with this switch off, don't really see any need for it.
