A quality headphone amp after my trusty Stewart died after 30 years. Lots of options for inputs and chaining these together.

Great headphone amp

I was using the Behringer PowerPlay Pro 4 channel headphone amp but it had a hum in it. Even lifting the ground did't help. I had used Art equipment before and was very pleased with their quality and price so I bought the rackmount HeadAmp6. It is extremely quiet. This is a great amp.

See any errors on this page?

Does this provide plenty of power to 250 or 600 ...

Does this provide plenty of power to 250 or 600 ohms power without the feeling that I need a higher power amp?
Asked by: Clinton
The specs on the ART HeadAmp 6 show 150mw with headphones of 8 or 600 ohms. It also states much higher power (500mw) with 32 ohm headphones. One must also consider: 1- the headphone sensitivity specification, which will tell you how loud a headphone is, based on the power applied. 2- the transients in whatever it is you are listening to; large transients requires much more power. see below article of explanation: https://www.audeze.com/blogs/technology-and-innovation/sensitivity-impedance-and-amplifier-power
