Wow, Al! Always impressed with the effort you extend to provide help.
How do I hook uo headphones to my system?
I have a Pass Int-150, which has neither a tape loop nor a headphone jack, so I can't (easily or conveniently) used an outboard headphone amp or plugs the headphone directly into my amp. Yes, I know I could use an outboard amp and directly plug in whatever source I am using into the headphone amp, but I really don't want to go that route.
The other thing I thought of is slightly nuts- my CD player has a digital out; my tuner has balanced and unbalanced outs and my phono stage has balanced and unbalanced outs.
I could run my CD player into a dac and then run the DAC's output, the unused tuner output, and the unused phono output to an headphone amp which also has the capability to switch among input sources or to a preamp that has a decent headphone stage.
Way too confusing. Anyone have an easy solution?
