Topic: Driving over-ear headphones via IEM out?
My intro:
I am new to the impressing RME ADI-2-DAC FS. It drives my AKG K812 headphones and a pair of ME Geithain active speakers for about a week now. Sources are mostly Raspberry PI 4 (Volumio OS) via USB, a BluRay player for those last CDs via coax and a TV-set via optical input. So nearly all ins and outs in good use.
I find the overall experience of this setup so satisfying that I will drop all my former €€.€€€ 'audiophile' HiFi stuff. It's just not necessary anymore :-)
My question:
Is there any reason why I should NOT connect my over-ear headphones to the DAC's IEM out? The reason for this idea is simply comfort: The AKGs have a 3.5mm 'mini' jack by default which has to be adapted to 6.35mm phone plug. I use these phones also with my mobile phone and would love to safe mounting and dismounting the adapter.
I do not find anything about this idea in the manual.
