olive supercap + 82 + headline?

Hi
I wonder if someone can help me. I have an olive 82 and a supercap. Is it possible to use one of the remaining connectors to power a headline amp?
thank you

There is a way you could get it to all power up and work (run the Supercap with just a single connection like a Hicap on the NAC82, using the second supply for the Headline), but it's not officially supported and causes a potential earth loop in the system. So, you effectively hobble what you have, which is a shame. Much better to give the Headline its own power supply - even the NAPSC performs really well here, so it won't break the bank.
