It's very small player, so I like it. I have Clip+ since Christmas and I'm very satisfied!

First of all let me say this is one of my favourite BA driver earphones I have ever heard. That said, being a basshead, these didn't deliver in the bass department - I can't deny the fact...

I've had this card for quite a while now, and I have to say its a really nice card - a huge step-up to my on-board motherboard's audio. At first I do have to admit, it didn't feel like the D1...

Those are both adapters to hook the headphones to the output of speaker amps. Banana plugs fit into the end of screw-down wire terminals.

...so no, it won't work on your Opera. You'll need a cable that terminates with a 1/4" plug if you want to use the 'phones with it.

You'll need a different cable. The bananas are for plugging the K1000's into a regular power amp with binding post outputs, not a headphone amp.

Thank you all, I have one more question.
This is the Opera's specification. would this power be sufficient to operate the k1000s?
2 headphone outputs( 0/120 Ohm output impedance ); Maximum output 13V / 500 mA; Gain switch: maximum gain factors -5 / +8 dB; Crossfeed filter switch; 2 pairs of analog inputs, input impedance 12 kOhm; 1 digital S/PDIF input; 1 digital USB-input; 1 pair of volume-controlled preamplifier outputs. Gold-plated input jacks; Silver plated headphone jacks (Neutrik); Silver plated heavy duty switches; Alps Blue potentiometer for volume control; 25 Watts toroidal transformer for the analog section; 7 Watts toroidal transformer for the digital section; 110V and 220V mains power switchable; Power uptake 12 Watts; Built-in groundloop breaker; Schottky rectifying diodes in the power supply; Double regulated voltage lines; Low impedance electrolytic buffer capacitors (Nichicon); Total Buffer capacity 80.000 uF.; Bypass capacitors in the power supply.; Polystyrol and polypropylen capacitors in the signal path; Metalfilm resistors in the signal path; LM6171 opamps biased into class-A using LM334 current sources; 2 BUF634 buffer amplifiers at left and right headphone output channel; (Active) balanced headphone ground; 3 BUF634 buffer amplifiers at the balanced ground headphone output channel; PCM2704 as USB-to-S/PDIF receiver; CS8420 as S/PDIF receiver (in high-jitter-reduction mode); PCM1794 D/A converter-chip; LM6171 opamps biased into class-A for I-V conversion; Sampling frequencies / resolution: 8..96 kHz / 16, 20, 24 bit (S/PDIF);32, 44.1, 48 kHz / 16 bit (USB). Star-grounding; Ultra short signal paths; Signal paths and signal path components at the bottom side of the PCB for maximal shielding. Weight: 3.9 kg. Size: 27.6 x 27.8 x 8,7 cm.

By most accounts, the K1000 needs a good 5-10 watts to really sing. The Opera would be hard pressed to deliver more than 1 watt to the K1000s.
