@r042wal I’ve read that McIntosh configures their headphone output differently and that taps into their amp section. I’m not really a Mac amp fan, but I don’t know why more amp manufacturers don’t take advantage of their amp sections for headphones in this way. ??? Then, I don’t know what I don’t know.
A question about headphones
I've decided I would like to give the headphone experience a try because I am an early morning person and I would like my wife to enjoy her sleep. She is definitely not an early bird.
I have a McIntosh C48 preamp and it has a headphone jack on front. I have plugged my BT transmitter into this and paired with my Bose noise -cancelling headphones but can't say its anything to write home about. Do I need a headphone amplifier and where do I connect the amplifier to my rig?
I like headphones that fully encapsulate my ear. I can't see that open-back headphones appeal to me. I am about 20' away from my rig and although I would consider a cable, what's the consensus on BT headphones or a combo BT / cabled?
I live in Canada and I was thinking to make a start, I would not want to sink more that $500 into headphones until I am convinced this is the route to go. I still don't know about the headphone amp and its cost - if I need it.
I don't post much here but I follow this forum daily ad appreciate all opinions and feedback. Thanks in advance everyone.

@soix don't forget Donald Rumsfeld: “There are known knowns — there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns — that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” 🤣 |
@r042wal Congratulations. Great to hear you "couldn't be happier.'
