Dedicated amp. Not sure I could go with that. having to change the SB
input to the main amp to the headphone amp all the time. The cables and
the sockets would get damaged over time.
Unless I keep the digital coax in the DAC and the standard outs to
the headphone amp? Would that work?

I could have made that clearer; I meant switched-mode (SMPS) rather
than switchable for voltage.

One thing is sure: Nowadays we can measure more precisely than we can

Hope this doesn't open up a can-o-worms, but isn't the Scott Nixon DAC
one of those non-oversampling ones with not much of an anti-alias
filter? I guess they count on the listener's ears doing the anti-alias
filtering... But what about the tweeters?

Tom, I have a variety of these devices including homeplug, UPB and
X-10. I have tried listening both with and without and did not notice a
difference. That, of course, doesn't mean that there isn't noise, just
that I couldn't hear it.
OTOH, homeplug works by using Forward Error Correction -
I'd expect it's pretty unlikely you'd have a problem. These are
broadband devices operating in the hundreds of MHz. Something

introduce noise in the audible band, but even then it should not be a
concern with well designed AV
