Momentum pre - using 2nd output for headphone amp
The Momentum pre has 2 sets of balanced outputs. According to Bill McKiegan at d’Agostino, they are both active all the time. I’m wondering if I can use the 2nd pair for a headphone amp. The headphone amp (Woo WA6) has no balanced inputs, so I’d have to convert from XLR to RCA at the pre or headphone end. I would only run either the headphone amp or power amp, never both at the same time. Does anyone see any issues with this setup? Will having both outputs connected, one to a balanced device and one not, change output impedance?
