SB3 quality of headphone output...

[pablolie]

Set up a spare SB3 as a headphone amp in my bedroom to chill as I got to sleep, with Shure SE315s. I change my opinion on how well it sounds from track to track, prolly due to the monitor nature of the Shure in ears?

Any strong opinions on the quality of the headphone output on the SB3 from other users? I think I have a good headphone up somewhere, will also do some experimentation on my own.

Cheers!

edit: the first line at that link states: "The headphone jack on the Squeezebox2 and Squeezebox3/Squeezebox Classic should be used to power low-end headphones only."

Thank you - guess I'll unearth my old Creek headphone amp, I know it's in one of my moving boxes :-D

It look like it depends on how hard the headphones are to drive. What is the impedance of your headphones? My Grado SR60s are only 32 Ohms but Sennheisers tend to be much higher.
