I have tried today my Sennheiser HD800 off the pre-out. It is no match for any decent headphone amp - even the portable ones like Meridian Explorer, etc. sound much better than the Devialet for this application.
I am now connecting a Stax amp to the pre-out and use the Stax instead. Much better. It lets the music breathe - with direct connection with the Senns, it sounds muffled by comparison.
Sorry!
