Preamp headphone amplifier

I just purchased a set of Sennheiser HD650 headphones and to start will be driving them with my Mark Levinson no.526 preamp built in headphone amplifier.  Does anyone have experience with this or similar headphone amp and is it a good headphone amp or should I look into a dedicated headphone amp?

Thank you.

Can’t say I’m surprised given what I’ve read of the amp, and congrats!  My bet is you have more goodness coming.  Enjoy!!!

Headphone amps in audio amps a largely an afterthought and really bad.  You have nice headphones, so don’t starve them with an insufficient amp.  This is a good one IMHO.
