Audio Hardware / Re: Headphone amp?
Last post by includemeout -
That's alright. Only after re-reading my own post did I realise I'd linked to the Magni's webpage instead of the Atom's. 
Corrected for future readers of this thread.

Not sure if it's in the aforementioned scientific(?) paper (TL;DR), but you probably know already that headphone amps have more efficient mechanisms (opamps, dedicated output stage, etc.) for reducing high-voltage output other than the average power amp and its typical resistor-divider network - therefore maintaining proper damping factors - which, AFAIK, would be one of their main benefits.

Other HA members, however, may possess the expertise to name a few other advantages, if any.
 
Rest assured though, I'm definitely not referring to sound coloration, harmonics, or similar alterations merely disguised by audiophools as sought-after traits/fairy dust in a headphone amp's SQ.

I have tried all public previews of  2.25 including todays 2025.05.19. I'm trying to stream to my Cambridge Audio EVO 150, just like in 2.24. It starts after a while, and stops again after at most 10 seconds.

Hi! How to change playlist view to grid mode?

Hi @embipurer,

you can not change it in the Playlist. You need to go to the Library ( top Menu > Library )
and right click for Library's context menu > Change layout to full.
To change back to tree view, right click for Library's context menu > Change layout to normal.

P.S Be sure to have indexed your music in foobar's Media Library. Top Menu > Media > Configure.

Ah, thanks for the Atom suggestion! Think I’m considering that, the Magni, and maybe the Monoprice Liquid Spark at the moment? Thanks for letting me know I’m on the right track!
