Headphone amp - help please

[Axel]

its late and im not sure im reading this correctly but if you connect the headphones directly then you want to set the devialet to variable output and npt 2Vrms as this should be for a fixed output of 2 volts into a headphone amp

Hi, That is correct, I have the pre out volume variable so I can obviously increase and decrease the volume through the devialet, but if you look in the settings there is also a "Relative Level" setting that allows from 0.2 to 4 Vrms. This if too much for the headphones can cause distortion and if too little maybe not capable to drive them in to a proper listening range (volume range).

I was wondering what kind of setups for the Vrms people use for their headphones and what were the personal experiences people had. Is there somebody out there that is extremely happy with the way the devialet drive his headphones? what hp is he using? what are the vrms settings?

Regards

I use my D to drive my headphones with an output setting of 4 Vrms. I have three sets as you can see from my signature. I used to have a Graham Slee Solo Ultralinear headphone amp, but honestly preferred the sound straight out of the D, so I sold it. I know the direct output sound is not for everybody though, so in depth auditions are a must IMO. If you (or anyone else for that matter) live near me, you would be most welcome to audition my setup. Good luck with the outcome!
