Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.

On to the matter at hand, that's one beefy amp. These speaker amps that can also work well as headphone amps are a rare thing these days. Most are either not clean enough for headphones or, if they even have a headphone out, don't even output their full power to it. The only way you can get most speaker amps to work with headphones is by making a custom banana plug to 6.35" jack cable or buy a converter box, but even these aren't perfect. The custom ones need a lot of caution to not mess things up and the converter boxes are expensive AF. Maybe I'll look into that butt ugly mofo of an amp (let's face it, it's oogly :P) one day, but for now I need a proper headphone amp and DAC that I can comfortably fit on my desk. You know, a basic good setup. After that, I'll wait for money to come my way and it's off to the races. Fostex t60rp, especially if ModHouse has a modded version by then, and a beefier amp are first on my list of stupid buys. Then I can go truly crazy.
PS : Please don't plug the MSR7 into that thing. You'll probably go deaf the moment you move the volume knob!
