You have several options, actually. Some headphone amps include a pass-through (line input and output), which would allow you to connect the headphone amp between the 950 and the left and right channels of your amp. Most people, however, do one of two things: connect the headphone amp to the tape output or connect it to the zone 2 output. Both outputs require that you have stereo analog cables connected from the sources you want to listen to through headphones, even if you normally use a digital connection for them (thinking specifically of DVD and CD players when I say that), because the tape output and zone 2 output are separate from the 950's digital-to-analog converters. The tape loop requires a volume control at the headphone amp (which most have) and will let you listen to whatever source is currently active on the 950. The zone 2 output gives you a volume control independent of the 950's main volume control and lets you select a different source, which means you could listen to a CD on your headphones while someone else watched TV through the 950.
