BOSOZ and balanced headphones....

[Russellc]

I found this older thread: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/pass-labs/7350-bosoz-head-amp.html

Was wondering about it as, first I happen to own a BOSOZ board, and am contemplating Audioquest Nighthawk headphones which happen to have a balanced hookup available.

Can this be made to work simply?

I searched for Balanced headphone amps and this is what I got...I suppose The thread "F-5 as Headamp" could be X ed....or is there another balanced headphone amp here?

All the reviews said they sounded better in balanced mode, for what that's worth. Otherwise, I will consider Audeze EL-8

Any help appreciated,

Russellc

I have been using 4 F4 amp boards set up as in post 3026 of

I have been really happy with the set-up.

Another possibility is to use an existing amplifier to drive headphones. I have used my F3 in this setup.

Thanks for the input, headphones and their amplifiers are all new to me. The idea of balanced headphones used with balanced amps and sources are even newer.
