I believe it also acts as a headphone amplifier and is an integral part of the whole. You can't use the headphones without it and the audio signal goes through it. I'm told you can substitute a Stax headphone energizer by using an adapter plug. I've also been told the Stax energizer sounds better, but I'm completely happy with the sound quality of the Koss energizer.

Good luck,
