Best connecting a small headphone amp to the output from the Pro Plus.

See Pro 2 in my sig

But seriously, yes, get a headphone dac/amp.

 

[Angelos58]

I would prefer without DAC. An headphone amp to the RCA output of WiiM Pro Plus?

 

[Angelos58]

I know this one. Both options.

FIIO K5PRO – DER KLASSIKER, NEU DEFINIERT

FiiO K5 PRO - HOCHWERTIGER DIGITAL-/ANALOG-WANDLER

Very interesting. It Has got an internal DAC. If I connect via USB or coaxial cable the Mac of WiiM is passed out and it will work only the FiiO Dac?

 

[Brantome]

If you haven’t already purchased the WiiM Pro Plus, it might be worthwhile waiting for the WiiM Ultra which does have a headphone amp/socket inbuilt.

This is my headphone listening setup:
WiiM Mini optical out to an Avantree Oasis providing Bluetooth (SBC, Aptx, Aptx LL & Aptx HD). The optical signal passes through the Avantree to a Fiio K11 which offers 4.4 mm balanced & 6.35mm (1/4 inch) single ended headphone outputs.
The Fiio K11 has a decent feature set including USB C In, Optical In, Coaxial In & RCA Line Out.

Before purchasing the Fiio K11 I was considering the Fosi Audio SK02.

Fosi Audio SK02 Desktop DAC/Headphone Amp

The SK02 employs a minimalist and stylish design language. Despite its small size, it boasts mighty features. It supports DSD256 and PCM 32bit/384kHz high-resolution decoding, along with 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced headphone outputs.

What about?

True, and I didn't mean to suggest otherwise.
Personally I think you are doing yourself a disservice by not considering a dac/amp.
If analog only is your preference, the Fosi Audio SK01 might be more to your liking.

With treble, middle, and bass adjustments capabilities, combined with central point positioning, you can easily find the perfect balance.

There are a lot of affordable choices out there from brands like Aiyima, Douk Audio, Fosi Audio, Schiit Audio, etc. Do your own research, YouTube is full of reviews and recommendations.

I have used various different headphones with a WiiM Mini, using the 3.5mm audio out, and have also connected headphones to a WiiM Pro, and WiiM Pro Plus, using the RCA audio out, with suitable cables.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

There is plenty of volume available for my Grado, Sennheiser, and Sony headphones, and I have never needed to go above 75% on the WiiM volume setting sliders in the WiiM Home app.

Good to know, thank you. Could you please tell me what cable rca to headphone you advice to me to use?

As you said, when I connect my Panasonic RP-HD500 headphone to the WiiM mini, they are loud enough even at 40%.

I can't give you any details about the sound quality, but using a poor quality long cable obviously makes the sound worse.

You've already paid more for the better DAC in the pro plus so I would try something like this as a cheap analog headphone amp.

The RCA output is not designed for connecting headphones as it is high impedance and voltage driven, plus you will then be relying on digital volume control.
