Wanted to share my Headphone solution and Configuration:
Just acquired the HifiMan HE1000 headphones and am driving them with a Chord Hugo.
Connection is Digital Coax from D250's Digital Port 1, right next to AES port which is set up as Digital Output, (SPDIF).
Cabling from D250 is via Siltech Silver.
Sample rate set at 192 kHz.
Volume control is via the Chord Hugo, (no remote but once set, rarely change - so far)!
Mute button on D250 controls just main speakers so to go from headphones to main speakers is just a press of the mute button. Easy pezzy!
Quality of sound, astonishing. Satisfaction level is 5 out 5 stars. Have about 50 hours on headphones so far, told they need 100 hours to really open up.
Cheers
Bob
