Headphones and the Devialet

[Womaz]

I am also asking for help on Head-Fi, this is a reply I got this morning

You can use RCA-to-XLR passive adapters to inject audio signal from Devialet to C3X.

[b]If you already have balanced headphones, then it could be an advantage for you to use C3X's balanced headphones output. Usually, with decent headphones cables, the impedance of headphones cables is quite low and output sound on both balanced and unbalanced should be about the same (ground wire should have less than 0.5 Ohms, you could measure with a good DMM).[/b]

So it looks like another box? Not keen on this. I have to decide whether a Balanced connection is really that important. If I want to continue to have the 200 in the headphone chain I think its going to make it complicated. My feeling is I think I do want to keep the Devialet in the chain.

Thanks for the amp suggestions but I have done a LOT of reading about the amps and I do have a shortlist, but the Burson Conductor 3R or 3XR really appeals
The amp I have is also very well regarded and I may even stick with this for now.
