So, as some of you know, I got a double whammy with twins arriving home 2 weeks back and my Emotiva processor packing up. I'm now listening to *whisper* TV sound - but more importantly, I have no way to listen to music.

So I started thinking that maybe I buy myself a cheap set of headphones and cheap headphone amp. I quickly realized even though headphone amps are small and low powered, they still cost a pretty penny.

Then I realized my Bluesound Node 2 had a headphone jack and works well according to reviews. But it has no volume control...

Or should I use this cheap device?
