You disconnected the IC from the source, but it was still connected to the headphone amp? There shouldn't be any voltage or current on the input of the amp. I would have it checked out if I were you. It probably has input coupling caps (to block any DC on the input). If you have a multimeter (DMM), measure the DC and AC voltage from the center to the barrel of the IC (or input jack).
