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.

Congrats! those are probably going to sound pretty sweet. Sennheiser makes great headphones and those are rated at 103dB sensitivity. 

Looks like the No.526 has a low / high setting for the headphone amp output so may see how that sounds to your ears.

Personally I'd want to hear them on a Manley absolute or Cary CAD-300SEI
