drueb Gunslinger Registered: 01/13/16 Posts: 77 Loc: Texas	Originally Posted By Helson The jack is just metal contacts. Do you mean, how good is the op-amp driving the headphones? My guess is, it's about the same performance quality as found in the other stages of the 976. It would be a guess though, as I haven't used the 976 with headphones. Forgive my phrasing, yes the op-amp driving the headphones. I hope it is on par with the rest of the 976...doing a lot of headphone listening late night.

I was just trying to ascertain if a separate headphone amp would sonically improve the signal when listening thru headphones.

drueb Gunslinger Registered: 01/13/16 Posts: 77 Loc: Texas	Thank you, Helson. I am looking to power a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770 250 ohm headphones, and wanted to be sure the 976 had enough power to drive them. _________________________ Outlaw Model 976 AV Surround Processor Outlaw Model 5000 5 Channel Amplifier JBL Studio 590 Left and Right JBL Studio 520C Center 2 JBL Sub 550P Polk 265RT 3 Way Surrounds (in wall) Sony Bravia 77" Class - A80CJ Series - 4K UHD OLED TV Panasonic DP-UB820-K 4K Player Technics SL 1210 GR (2019) Ray Samuels F-117 Nighthawk - Phono Preamp Ortofon Bronze 2M; Ortofon Headshell;Emmeline Nighthawk Phono Pre-Amp by Ray Sammuels Schitt Loki Wire World RCA Cables Drop THX AAA 789 Headphone Amp Blue Jeans Speaker Cable Belden 10-gauge 5T00UP (Front L&R and Center) Blue Jeans Interconnects LC-1's

If it does you save $$$ on an amp. _________________________ Music system Model 990/7500/Magnepan 1.6 QRs/Technics SL1200 MK2/Aperion S-12 Subwoofer/OWA3/Sony NS75H DVD APC H15 Power Conditioner TV System Large Advent Loudspeakers/ Polk center/Monoprice surrounds/Panasonic Viera 42 inch/Onkyo HT-RC260/Sony BDP S590/Directv Home Theater System Onkyo PR-SC886/Outlaw 7125 Klipsch RF-82 L/R,RC-62 center, RB-35 SR/SL, BENQ HT1075, Outlaw LFM1-EX/OPPO BDP-83/Directv Harmony ONE Blue Jeans and Monoprice interconnects APC H15 Power Conditioner

I tried them, and unfortunately, it does not. Ended up with AKG K553 MKII Closed-back 32 ohm Studio Headphones...much greater sensitivity. Can't hook up a headphone amp anyway...due to no Line Level Outs on the 976 per Outlaw Support. _________________________ Outlaw Model 976 AV Surround Processor Outlaw Model 5000 5 Channel Amplifier JBL Studio 590 Left and Right JBL Studio 520C Center 2 JBL Sub 550P Polk 265RT 3 Way Surrounds (in wall) Sony Bravia 77" Class - A80CJ Series - 4K UHD OLED TV Panasonic DP-UB820-K 4K Player Technics SL 1210 GR (2019) Ray Samuels F-117 Nighthawk - Phono Preamp Ortofon Bronze 2M; Ortofon Headshell;Emmeline Nighthawk Phono Pre-Amp by Ray Sammuels Schitt Loki Wire World RCA Cables Drop THX AAA 789 Headphone Amp Blue Jeans Speaker Cable Belden 10-gauge 5T00UP (Front L&R and Center) Blue Jeans Interconnects LC-1's
