hello forum, i am wondering how the average integrated pipes sound to the headphone out socket? I have a nadc320bee integrated and am under the impression it just takes the output from the amplifiers preamp stage, or the poweramps output stage and uses resistors or something to lower the output to headphone level...also would it be feasible to somehow turn a normal amplifier into a dedicated headphone amp?
i'm considering getting a headphone amp, as the output from my PC to some cans is diabolical, a screechy mess, but from my external dac and amps headphone socket, very nice. I'm getting some hd555 in a day or so, so i'm sorta curious about given them an improved signal to put into my ears
I ask this, as i see many headphone amps come with an 'out' pair of rca, to be used as if it was a preamp, into a power amplifier (i don't believe it's simply a signal passthough, two amps sharing the same unswitched source signal seems like a plain bad idea).
Any help would be appreciated with regards to how it all works
