Hi, I have a pretty expensive amplifier (rotel RA-1572 MKII) with a somewhat cheap headphones (sennheiser hd560s) but I'm very disappointed that the quality is unbearable.
There's just too much white noise hissing. If you're playing constant music then you don't notice it but as soon as there's any silence in your music it's too noticible.
(this happens on any input including optical. The only way to get it away is to chose a input that isn't connected, but as soon as you connect an input to that then it will start hissing again)
People say that Integrated Amps will never have good headphone amp, that I should just buy a dedicated headphone amp, but I don't want to do that because I enjoy having the subwoofers (connected to the amp) playing while I'm listening to headphones (only for the very low sub frequencies)
so I was htinking, could one solution possibly be to get headphones that are harder to drive?
I should note that the hiss is independent on volume, it's happening whether teh amp is set to min or max
