Is the volume control for both the headphone and preamp output? I just want to make sure that the volume will work for both headphones and speakers.

that is forr headphone out only. Speakers volume can be controlled by computer when connected via USB and optical. Also, if you connect via bluetooth (BT100) you can control volume with your bluetooth device, e.g. smartphone.

Yea, the volume knob works for both. I have it hooked up to a tube amp. You can listen through both the amp and dac with head phones.

Most audio amps for speakers have a headphone jack taken from a preamp area within for a headphone jack. Why they didn't, who knows. I would buy one even at a higher price if included it.

Yes. There is an output at the back. It's called "Audio Out" and takes a regular earphone jack, 3.5mm I believe. You can disable the speaker volume in the Audio Settings menu but I think the Audio Out volume defaults to your latest level. I can see no way to control the volume other than on a suitably equipped pair of earphones/headphones. Just to clarify, this is the smaller sized jack typically seen on a phone or MP3 player, not the larger headphone jack.

nothing powers the monitor output. It is basically a line output. You need a set of self powered monitors or amp to power your speakers. Headphone is powered and is strong enough to power typical hifi headphone.

I am considering using this for the following: Headphone jack from integrated amp: in - Headphone: out - Powered speaker 1: out - Powered speaker 2: out. Total 1 in and 3 out. Max of 2 outs simultaneously: The two powered speakers. Thoughts?

You cannot control the volume of the speakers themselves. However, if you can control the volume of the output source (e.g. if they are connected to a TV/set-top box) the volume of the speakers will be affected.Hope this helps!

This appears to be microphone level or at best line level inputs and outputs. Sadly the description doesn't say what the levels or impedances are, but the example in the text implies this. Headphones & speakers are very low impedance and much higher power (wattage) than mic or line levels, so I would be very surprised if you could heard anything, let along acceptable volume and tone, if you directly connect headphones, which would also require at least a mono/stereo adapter.

No there isn't a button that controls the volume on th actual headphones. You have to adjust the volume with the actual device it's connected to.

The output is the typical headphone connector, (2.5mm, 1/8"). If you have external speakers with that connector it will work like any other device. The power output is limited, so if the speaker is powered it will make a good sound. You can't beat the price.

Thanks for the replies. Will keep it in mind when I am ready to buy a headphone amp.

Yes just ran a test. It does not turn the volume totally off. I run my headphones off a Zxr SoundBlaster card which has an internal headphone amp and exterior volume control. The volume control that comes with the card is top notch. Hope this helps.

No. It does not mute the monitor output automatically, you have 2 knobs on the right front area, the left one is to control the monitor output and the right one to control the headphones output, you can even have 2 completely different outputs sounding on the headphones and the monitors at the same time.

This amp is intended for powering headphones only. Power output, as such, is probably too low for anything other than headphones. Note that typical headphones have maximum power handling capability of only about 0.1 watt. Also, amp output is analog only (USB is digital).

I never tried them with headphones... I would guess that the volume control would modify the volume to headphones, but it definitely wont modify volume to the subwoofer.

I was disappointed to find out that the answer to this question is NO. If you remove the battery from the headphone, music plays normally in them. Which means these are non-amplified headphones and rely on the MP3 volume to produce sound. And thus, the volume level associated with these headphones is only as loud as the MP3 amplification minus the loss from the headphone speakers. The volume control on the headphones only controls the volume of the sound received by the headphone microphones - NOT the volume of the MP3.

you would just use a set rca analog cables to hook it up to your preamp, but you have 2 volume controls. how about just hooking up your CD player via the analog outputs to this headphone amp if this is your source of music or if you have another DAC just hook it up the same way and bypass your preamp.... I had a preamp with no headphone jack so I did the same for awhile then I just use the headphone with my CDP. though if you try to hook up a turn table phono amp to headphone amps there always seem to pick up a hum or some noise the you could hear.

There is a very nice volume control wheel on the amp. It can be used to adjust the master level of the amp. The answer to your question is: The working volume of your sound IS controlled by the source. (PC, etc.) The control on the amp will allow you to fine-tune the over-all loudness of your source. You have a great deal of control and adjustment. This amp works wonderfully. Have no fear of volume control issues.
