High End Audio CD Players? Headphone Socket


Hi! Looking recently at these top range CD Players eg:Wadia,Cambridge,Capitole ect. I have unfortunately yet to find a headphone socket! Been new to the "High End Audio" scene probably due to the high prices i`ve recently got a strong hunger for sound perfection!. On a "Upsampling" CD Player is it possible to listen through headphones and and if so! how can the connections be made? and what equipment would be needed?.

Now knowing that the audio is undergoing a upsampling process through the DAC 24bit will there be a noticable improvement in audio quality when listening to music through headphones.

help will be appreciated.

You can connect the analog outputs to a dedicated headphone amp, which given the quality of the players you are talking about (and presumably using a good pair of cans) is highly recommended. Many have a pre-amp loop out. Or if your pre-amp has a tape loop, you can insert the headphone amp into the tape loop.
