Agreed. The latest Beresford DACs have lost the functionality I value.
The older ones have fixed and variable line outs, so the variable output
drives the headphones and the fixed goes to the Quad 77 Integrated Amp
with its own volume control.

The required functionality could be restored by deploying a separate
headphone amp with its own volume control. A passive splitter from the
DAC could send the analogue output to phones and amp at the same time. I
have not looked, but there could well be headphone amps with pass
through.

Where there's a will . . .
