Sennheiser RS180 + ODAC

Hi guys,

 

I'm currently shopping for a DAC for my wireless RS180 and I was wondering If I could pair the RS180 with the ODAC without an amp. I know the ODAC line out is a not amplified line driver but I was asking myself what does the Line Input of the RS180 looked like.

 

Cheers,

What is your audio source?

Is this for music only? or movies? or gaming?

The ODAC will work just fine paired to the RS 180, just need a 3.5mm (1/8", mini-jack) male to 3.5mm male cable.

As the input on the ODAC is USB, your only going to get stereo 2-channel sound, no surround sound for movies or gaming.

It's only for music, The RS180 being my main headphone for now ! I just can't find the input impedance of the RS180 base station, from what I've found on the web as long at it's ~10k it should be fine with ODAC alone.. but I'm a little bit anxious that I'll just not work :(

 

Thanks for the informations,

Xavier

The ODAC to RS 180 is a simple standard 2-channel analog audio line connection, it's like a 99.99% chance it's going to work.
