One cannot use the pre amp outs to a headphone amp with the Cambridge Audio CXA61/81's.
Well, actually you can, but there is no way to mute the speakers.
Pretty big mistake on CA's part I'd say.
Perhaps the next gen. replacement model will have a speaker mute feature. Plugging in a dummy 3.5mm jack into the headphone out mutes the speakers and the pre amp outs!
Has anyone used 250 ohm headphones with the CXA's built in headphone amp with these models? If so, does it have the power to drive them?
