have no idea. i hear it is pretty good though. i do not use any dac for it's headphone amp. perhaps i am not aware of how good they have become i don't know. my feeling is a high end dedicated amp is going to be much better than any dac. i could be wrong in that thinking i admt. i have never used the headphone amp in any dac. not even once. i do undrstand you are getting a dac/sort of preamp and balanced headphone amp for a reasonable price. that could be a lot of peoples price point for all three of those things. in that regard it may be just the ticket. especially offering balanced. i just happen to like these teac dacs, as dacs. i feel my headphone amps are probably better. i can't be sure since i have not tried it. although at many times the price of the whole teac and weighing much more that is just my guess. this could be a complete oversight on my part. i could end up very surprised i suppose. just as they surprised me as a dac for the price. well, anyways as of right now i cannot answer that question(short answer).
