[SOLVED] Is a audio interface good enough for 30 ohm headphones?

[darknightbacca1]

Hi, i'm using a BDP-S350 blu-ray player, and the volume via the headphone is quite low, i was thinking to boost it, i'd use a headphone amplifier, however since my headphones are only 30 ohm, a audio interface may suffice, what do you guys think ?

this is the audio interface - https://djcity.com.au/product/behringer-um2-audio-interface/

From what I can read, there isn't mentioned a head phone outlet. It may or it may not work, but in general you should look for a product that have an actual head phone outlet.

Blu ray player > RCA to 3.5mm jack into headphone input > RCA to 3.5mm output > headphones

That is not the use of an audio interface, it connects to a computer with drivers through USB, it's not for just home theater devices. I would get a simpler cheaper headphone amp https://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Am...earch-10&pf_rd_t=BROWSE&pf_rd_i=13880161&th=1

How are you connecting the headphones, that player does not have a headphone out. Through the TV headphone out? Or is it a line out?

Blu ray player > RCA to 3.5mm > 6.3mm adapter.

Also i'm thinking of getting this amplifier, what do you think ?

For the record, I run an Audient iD4 with 32-ohm Sennheiser HD439s hanging off them, and the iD4's hardware has absolutely no problem driving them. YMMV though, depending on which interface / combo you plan on getting.

I had a UM2--they only have a 6.3mm out.

Don't know about that brand, but the box looks well built and has good options (two types of inputs, mono switch).

I saw HPA 4 and got excited. It's not THE HPA 4 though.

That's just crazy talk. I'd love to have a group of people do a A/B test with a $200 headphone amp and that thing. There are like 6 headphones on the planet you can use with it without feeling silly LOL
