Hi,

I have Computer -->Audiogd sparrow --> Senns HD650, and i'm very happy with them.. 

 

I wonder if i can plug somo speakers to the sparrow, but i dont really know if it's even possible and if it is, what kind of speakers do i need and how to connect them to the sparrow.

 

Any advice, recommendation?

 

Thanks in advance

I think probably i'm gonna receive more feedback in the DAC subforum. Can i post there this question? or should an administrator move this thread?

I doubt you can use a headphone amp with real passive speakers.  The impedance and power draw is completely different, I can't imagine a tiny headphone amp could maintain the current needed to power real speakers.

There is a solution, but I don't know how it might sound.  Back in the day, 1980, being dissatisfied with the power of my Pioneer KP-500 (car audio), I purchased a Fosgate booster amp.  This thing took the speaker outs of the Pioneer as input, and passed the signal on the speakers (DIY) with more power, about 25 watts per channel, IIRC.  It sounded extremely clean, but the trick was, it needed a LOT of power from the battery.  I even still have the thing, but have not had a use for it since my Accord died...

Since the Sparrow doesn't have pre-amp outs or a line-out, you need to connect active (self-powered, with the amplifier built-into one or each of the cabinets) speakers to the headphone out via a 6.3mm -> RCA/3.5mm/6.3mm cable.
