Integrated with good headphone output

Hi all,

I recently bought some Grado SR60 headphones and I'm looking for a headphone amp. I got to thinking a budget integrated (3-400) with a good headphone output is more versatile than a dedicated headphone amp. Any ideas? New or used, old or new, whatever.

On a related note, are most headphone outputs on a seperate circuit from the amplifier output section?

Thanks

Thanks for the good ideas.

I've notices that Anthem processors (AVM-20) have headphone outputs. Anyone have any experience with them? I've seen several recently for around $400. Seems like a great deal for a quality piece of equipment.

The Leben looks nice but it's a little over budget!

I'll probably end up trying a dedicated headphone amp like the Aune, Project or similar.

Anyone have an opinion on the Creek OBH11?

Still wondering about the Anthems...kind of big, but they have good dacs and volume controls. Just don't know about the headphone output.

Thanks
