Greetings! I've been a happy owner of CXA81 for some time while used it as intended - with a pair of decent speakers. But recently I used its headphone out with my Focal Celestee and was quite dissatisfied with the results. The sound is quite harsh, waaay too bright with noticeable hissing. So my question is - is it a common thing that speaker amplifiers can be subpar choice for headphones compared to DAC/Amps designed specifically for headphones (like DX5Lite for instance). Has anyone have a similar experience and, if yes, how you solved the problem? Thank you!
