The following is a qoute from a poster on another forum:
"You d'have to use the line out of your Interface, as the headphone amp would already "amp" the signal thus ruining the signal path for the dedicated amp. The Volume of the Dac/ Interface should always be on full as well as the actual sound source, volume control should be left to the last member of the chain (so in this case the headphone amp)."
This was a response to a question about connecting an external headpohne amplifier to the line outs of an audio interface. What I'm wondering is, is it true that in this scenario the volume of the audio interface should be on full? I've never considered doing this myself, as I was always afraid it could potentially damage my equipment, or at the very least sound bad. What do you guys think?
