Well after reading what I wrote let me make a correction. Going from preamp fixed output would not give me remote preamp volume control. It would give me source selection though. I guess I could use the variable preamp out and then have remote volume control. But I would need to use the output from the headphone amp to go to the power amp. That doesn't seem like the best path.
Headphone amp connection
Hello all,
So I am thinking about adding a headphone amp to my set up. Nothing too fancy, something like a Schiit Audio Asgard to power some HiFiMan HE400S headphones. My question is what is the best way to wire up the headphone amp? The was I see it I have two choices with my equipment. I could wire the fixed output from my Rogue preamp to the headphone amp or wire it directly from my Jolida JD100 cdp. The Jolida has two sets of rca outputs and the Rogue has a set of variable outputs plus a set of fixed outputs. I'm thinking the fixed outputs from the Rogue might be to hot for the headphone amp to handle. But hooked up this way allows me to use any source and give me remote volume control. What do you guys think is the best way to go?
