SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy?


In my never ending quest to scale down, I have been looking for a preamp with headphone out. I enjoy passives/buffers and stumbled upon this when I was looking at the Newport Show report on Innerfidelity:

Does anyone have any experience with gear that runs on 120v rails? Sounds intriguing, but I plead ignorant. This might seem like a good alternative to the usual preamp and this amp among headphone enthusiast is much revered.

There is also this 2control monitor controller which might be more suitable to my needs because of the flexibility and the ability to switch to mono, but this does not run on 120v rails.

Any opinions, ideas or experiences?

Also, has anyone dived into the pro-audio segment for any of their gear as an alternative to traditional hifi?

I use a Crown Xti 1002 to drive my woofers with the built in X/O at 320Hz....works great for tight pounding bass.
