  ... or different people. Yes, for two outputs to be actually useful two separate volume controls (or maybe some kind of offset for one output) would be necessary.

Well, you will need two amps for that, one for each output.
 
You can try to play with resistor controlled output. Building an independent unit for this can be very challenging and the sound won't be te same.

Thats (part of) my point: the V281 does have two amps... though they are not there for driving two headphones out of one box of course. And I seldom have the need for that as I try to keep away from comparing equipment for the sake of comparisons

Point taken, it's a feature i was hunting for a long time. I usually listen much louder than my wife.

My V281 is in my living room and each time my girlfriend goes up a page in Netflix with the remote of the TV, my selected source on the V281 changes

As I've heard registering ones own range of IR signals is expensive...

Phonitor 2 has the perfect solution concerning remote control.

But that only covers volume control... being able to switch inputs can come in handy as well. On the other hand I don't use remotes at all with my headphone amps as I don't use them as preamps, so I don't care too much about that anyway.

Black V281 here: coupled with Exasound E22 and LCD3-F;
DAC is still in burn in stage, but with V281 seems something really out of ordinary....
I can also confirm that V281 also with HE-560 is a truly fantastic combo!!!
 
p.s. Just sent an email to Lake People asking for silver front (just to match Exasound silver face) as spare part, hope they will reply me...

 

[gipsy]

Let us know...that option is interesting for me as well..
 
Thanks

You won't be disappointed. Especially if you happen to have an he-500 with a balanced cable.
