System builder in the latest mag

I saw it in Sainsburys today (still waiting my my digital copy), an Apple Mac, headphones and an Arcam player all hooked up together. How does this work exactly then?

I am just trying to find ways of utilizing my headphones.

I would try a fiio amp first gel. For modest outlay and portability I think they are hard to beat, although not tried any other headphone amps...

I have been looking at headphone amps for the bedside table too. Loving the fiio though so will probably just stick with it.

Saying that the entry level Nad looked like it would be an excellent, flexible desktop unit. Acting as a hub for headphones amp and stereo amp and dac.

The top of the rang one looks the business with networking and airplay too. It's £700 though. I don't work in the house so I can't justify it.

Do you just connect the headphones to the Fiio amp then? You don't need any special adaptors or anything do you?

Mine is connected to my iPad Air via the multipin plug with an adapter £25ish from amazon to get down to lightening plug on iPad. Then I have the fiio in line plug which connects via headphone jack into amp then my p7s are plugged into the output on amp. Not tried using supplied jack to jack connector. Always used the apple adapter thingemy

That sir, is what is commonly referred to as a bargain.

I am seriously considering getting one myself. :type:

Primarily as headphone amp but also as DAC with laptop source to main system.
