Hello,
I would like to have a Headphone Amplifier connected to my wiim ultra in order to drive more powerfully Fiio FT1 Pro Planar headphones. I am considering Fiio K11 as such amplifier, and I think there might be more than one way to connect it to the Ultra. If I could get help clarifying if my reasoning is correct that would be great.
My Wiim is connected via RCA Out to a pair of Adam T8V Active Monitors, and this is how I listen to music out loud. I would like to additionally sit next to the wiim to be able to listen to music on headphones without altering the rest of the setup, but also not using Wiim's internal headphone amplifier, because my intuition (correct me if I'm wrong) is that it wont be quite sufficient to fully drive planar headphones like the FT1 Pros.
If I do Wiim-UBSA to K11-USBC In, I would be using K11's internal DAC? In this case could that DAC additionally be used to feed the T8V's if I wanted, bypassing the Ultra? Has that additional possibility been worth exploring for some people?
If I do Wiim-Optical or Coax Out to K11-Optical or Coax in, I would be using Wiim's internal DAC exclusively, and any of the two sub-options would be the same, or would there be subtle audio differences?
Besides the partoicular questions, any general insights regarding the different scenarios would be appreciated, and I'm sorry in advance if I am asking questions that were already asked in this forum (kindly point me in their direction if you will, thank you).
