Headphone conection

[i...@thepoppys.co.uk]

Recently purchased a B2 and have finally loaded my CD collection onto it.

I have connected to my receiver via optical cable as recommended and pretty happy.

I was thinking of adding a headphone dac/amp but then would need to keep swapping connection or get an optical splitter which i am not keen on.

Has anyone got experience of HDMI connection to receiver. is it worth trying this as this would free up the connection for a headphone amp or would i just be better to plug headphones into receiver

What about bluetooth headphones?

I've been under the impression a DAC/Headphone amp would allow you to route an analog signal from the DAC to your receiver.  Since you'd plug your headphones into the DAC/Headphone amp, you'd only need the one connection from the B2 to the DAC.  Or maybe I'm missing something here.

Yes a DAC schas this (or of the many similar available)

Would connect to an amplifier and also provides for a wired headphone connection (note the B2 optical connector is a jack-plug shape as it also accommodates an analogue out).

Hi Ian,

An external DAC/Headphones amplifier, as Fred suggests, would be the way to go.
