Can you use a Receiver to power your headphones?

[Frank007301]

Hi all

I would like to know if you can use a receiver like the Marantz 6012 as an amplifier for Beyerdynamic DT880 250ohm just by using the front headphone jack or would i need a separate amp and DAC?

I am going to be using it at my PC. So optical out from the PC into the receiver and then to the DT880's.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.
