    <p>Another +1 for the transistor output boost.</p>
    <p>I've done similar years ago following an example from an op-amp
      application note. Plenty of oomph for any headphones (and 32 ohm
      speakers, too). I've also included a small relay to mute the
      output on power-up and power-down.</p>

              <br>
              i've been getting mixed results for a few yeara using
              standard opamp circuits to drive headphones for my
              projects. oscillations randomly seem to occur, noise
              issues that disappear if i use nice outboard preamp etc...<br>
              <br>
              is there a more juicy/capable solution anyone can think
              of? THAT corp line drivers? discrete transistor drivers?<br>
              <br>
              any thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)<br>
