Headphone Amp - Explained !

Dedicated amplifiers that provide optimal power and impedance matching for headphones. High-impedance models (300Ω+) require powerful amps like the Schiit Magni+. Balanced amps (4-pin XLR) reduce crosstalk. Tube amps (e.g., Woo Audio WA7) add harmonic distortion favored by audiophiles.
