Hegel H590 with BW 800D

I was using a Classe 2300, which is a stereo amp providing 300 watts per

Channel  at 8 ohms, and 600 at 4 ohms.  It drove my B&W 803D3’s fine.  

What amp are you using now, and what kind of improvements are you looking for?

There's a good chance the 390 would drive those speakers without the benefit of a cable!  Enjoy!!

A related question to the H590 -- I just realized that it doesn't have a headphone output.

Is there a clean way to utilize the DAC/pre-amp on the device with headphones?  My concern is that feeding the variable-output/fixed-line output from the H590 to an external headphone amp would leave the speakers in the H590 on.  Does anyone know if "muting" the H590 will leave the variable-output/fixed-line outputs active (there by allowing me to mute the speakers while still driving the headphone amp.).

Good question, I think hegel's have a ht pass thru if that helps?
