Using headphone output from an intergrated amp


I am in a phase of being obssessed with headphones. My simple question is : Do I need to have the intergrated amp connected to a speakers while I am using the headphone output?

I have read somewhere that " never turn the amp volume up without being connect to a load, ie. speakers ".

I prefer not to have any speakers to connect to my intergrated amp but the headphone to the headphone output.

For the DIY types out there....you can cob together a CMOY pocket headphone amp for about 30$ with all new parts, less the Altoids tin you build it in!

Than, you can get into 'opamp' rolling. Much less expensive than the glass version!

Minimal equipment is needed, but ya gotta' have a good iron. AND eyesight.
