Ok, stupid question time, what exactly is a diamond buffer.
It looks to me at first glance like a way of keeping the power rails balanced like a resistor divider except, it is on the output side?
I can find many pages with PCBs and diffirent diamond buffers, but none of them clearly tell me what the hell I should do with one if I built it, what are the limitations? If it does sit on the output side I would imagine power limits...
Please connect a few dots... I'm a quick study normaly, I promise...

On page two of this PDF is a schematic of a diamond buffer:

They're pretty popular for headphone amplifiers. Check the head-fi.org and headwize.com forums for more info.
