My 2.1 channel system is made up of some McIntosh vintage stuff, a Sonos connect, two SS amps and a DAC.

Everything passes through the DAC, then the DAC sends out the electrons to the amps. Unfortunately, there is no provision for headphones on the DAC.

I am thinking about adding a headphone amp. Just not sure how this would wire in to my system as I have no more outputs available on the DAC. The XLR's go to the amps and the single RCA L/R is used for the subwoofer out to the wireless subcast system.

I suppose I could hook into the McIntosh preamp and listen to FM only on the headphones (the only input to that pre-amp is the tuner) but I'd be missing out on a lot of other music that way.

What if I were to split the RCA out that the subcast system uses into two streams of L/R with one going to the headphone amp?

Thoughts?
