It worked as instructed and it is by far the best headphone experience I have ever had. Very similar quality to the speakers system with strong tuneful bass, lots of detail and not fatiguing like that coming of the Audioquest dragonfly
Highly recommend to try if you have decent cans
Agreed, I picked up some bits from Maplin, plugged in, and had the best headphone experience since buying them. Now my Graham Slee headphone amp is redundant. Selling that will help fund a wall bracket for the D!
Which cable do you use to connect the headphone to Devialet? I do not want to buy poor quality 3.5mm to RCA cable..
I don't use the adapters any more. If you PM me your address, I'll send them to you if you want. All you will need is a pair of RCA cables.

RE: Connecting headphones to a Devialet - devianet - 26-Jan-2022
It's taken me nearly 10 years to get around to trying this.
Pre-out, dual RCA to 3.5mm jack, headphones with 300ohm nominal impedance.
Got to admit I'm blown away with the sound. I have the top Graham Slee amp, which I've admired for many years and is really no slouch, but the Expert pre-outs driving the headphones direct (instead of driving the Slee) leaves it a long way behind for clarity, punch, and holography.
It's not really supposed to be this good, is it? The pre-outs drive headphones as kind of a secondary alternative function, and are connected "only" to the auxiliary DAC, not the "special" ADH which drives the speaker terminals.
Bemused.
