The behringers have a habit of being very noisy - especially in the channels near the power supply. I had an HA4700 and finally got sick of all the noise. I replaced it with a Mackie HM-54. Not as many features - not as many outputs - no pretty light-up buttons - no buzz or hiss either. There are a number of places selling the mackie for $100.
I have a samson Q5, it has served me well over the years. It can be a bit under powered if you run headphones with different impedances, but all and all its worth the $100.
Since I just bought HS80M I need something to control volume on both of them at the same time. And also need a headphone amp, would like it to be rackmounted... Any advices? I've heard that hp4 is nice for the headphone part but monitors knob is useless and is not consisten.
P.S. Another preferd feature: Knobs should go to 11 8-) (c) Spinal Tap
How many channels of headphone do you want?
I use a small mixer in my setup. It isn't rack mount though (Mackie 1402 VLZ). I feed the alternate 3/4 output to my headphone amp. The CR output goes to my monitors.
I don't thnk i will ever need more tha 4 I never needed more than 2 actually but since I am planning on doing some on location recordings 4 should be enough. Yeah I know I can use mixer into the headphone amp,its just the fact that I want to rack all my staff
I use the PreSonus HP4 and a Behringer AMP800. Why? Because I forgot as I went from recording musician to recording engineer that when recording a band "live", musicians want different mixes in their headphones. Duh.
If I were buying a headphone amp now, I would probably buy the Samson S•phone (about $160 US). It has 4 outputs and stereo + 4 aux inputs. The Rolls RA62c looks similar to me.
I need monitor volume control knob, I think I will buy ha4700 and if sucks just cry and return it, cause it has all features I need. HP4 according to reviews has bad volume knob and some people actually damaged their monitors. don't want to rick hs80m

The Rolls RA62c has caught my eye, and seems to be a very powerful unit that also has Direct inputs for each channel with a balance control.
I don't think I'd buy another HA4700, but it does the trick...

I have not tried this yet but would think it to be almost perfect for a small studio set-up.
