Input bias flows through pot
The input bias current for the first stage is flowing through the input level pot. At maximum impedance and worst case bias of 800nA this will 37.6mV and with forward gain of 3.55 this gives -133mV output offset.
Also having DC flowing through the pot will mean probable wiper noise (crackle) as you change level.

hmm i think this would pick up any nearby radio station perfectly...
should not there be some pf range value caps at input, from input to ground at least?
and sortha i would add a 100 ohmish resistor at the output of the opamps..
just in case of that funky feeling.
dunno.
it may be absolute correct but i don't quite like this schematic.
i mean the looks of it is just "alien".

I bet it's just another of those funky (being kind) "Red Circuits" , at least it looks like it.
"Designed" by somebody who obviously has too much free time, most are clearly unbuilt/untested , may or may not work, and in general have design flaws which would be obvious and corrected *if* they were actually built and tested.
Doubts expressed above are very reasonable: pot may scratch, offset will be high (acceptable on speakers, not on headphones) , WHY does it have DC gain?
As of "adding 100 ohms to the output" ..... why?
Those Op Amps have higher than normal current capability and can drive headphones , they're popular in that use; the 4.7 ohms shown is enough.
That said, there's a ton much better headphone amp circuits out there (cough cough DIYA Headphones section
)
