astroglide,

Headphone amps are not designed to make the music louder. They are used to drive high quality headphones properly. A headphone amp with high quality headphones is not much louder than a normal setup.

yes that's my basic perspective. between ipods and people using headphones instead of speakers when computing people are going to blow them out.
