To use higher ohm headphones, should they be plugged into the card or the front module with the knob?

higher or not the default headphone is the front plug just because you have a easy access button for switch between your speaker and headphone. If not technically the same output watt. The knob button is the master volume for both of them. I have a 128ohms headphone and at 25% is too loud for me.

This is only a 32Ohm unit and you maybe used to a 50Ohm unit ... so you maybe over driving the max output of the headphones. Mine are pretty loud and actually respond better on my mobile than others. I did notice a huge difference when I plugged them into a soundboard that I normally use 50Ohm headphones. (Your output device may not work well at 32Ohms.) But at the max volume when they start to distort is way too loud for me and I don't want to loose hearing.

It has a pre-amp out with a standard PL jack. If your headphones have an adapter you can probably plug it in there.

as I understand the higher the ohm the less efficient they are. I would suggest you call a reputable stereo store in your area for best answer. I put mine in a stock system and they work fine.

You have to modify the rubber protecting the headphone port. If not the headphone wire will never be able to fit in the hole.

You can plug the front audio port to this card but it won't deliver the amplified signal.

If you have a good sound card and regular jacks, I'd use the normal interface. I strongly think many USB connection use an adapter that functions as a sound card, so you get the quality in the headphones commensurate with the USB adapter's 'sound card' hardware.

The headphone jack is the 6.3mm next to the RCA plugs, the card includes a 6.3mm male to 3.5mm female adapter for headphones with a 3.5mm plug. Be sure to download the Unixonar drivers and set the headphone amp's impedence to match your headphones or you could damage them.

I mostly use this card for headphones, however I would guess no to your question. Maybe if you plug the front panel audio into this card and plug your other speakers in up there would you maybe be able to do that. maybe ask on like head-fi.org as they will probably know much more than me. I also, do not own this sound card anymore, as my new motherboard did not have a pci connector :/ Some people might not agree, but after purchasing my new xonar essence stx, I would say this card is hardly any different sounding.

It has a power adapter to drive headphones. As far as ohms I believe I saw 80ohms as the headphone impedance.

These are actually 300 ohm cans...and a separate DAC or DAC/amp will make a significant difference as the DAC on your computer is not the greatest. I have the latest MacBook Air and I also have a very expensive CD player. There was an immediate improvement when using my DAC/amp with the HD600. I don't have Schiit, but it would be the same effect

This soundcard has output specialy for headphones. Not needed to use RCA output.

It appears as a separate sound card, and it can definitely be better than onboard sound. The headphone amp is quite nice with a Sony MDR-V6 with replacement soft pads.

It is an auxilary input jack, so both headphone plugs will work. We have had ours for a few years, and have had no mechanical or electrical issues.

ABSOLUTELY. Anytime you get a dedicated card the overall quality will be a TON better. The amount of customization and power that a dedicated card will run to your speakers will be awesome. I'm not sure how it compares to headphones, but I noticed a huge jump in quality and of course the equalizer alone let me tune everything to have very epic bass and no distortion.

Well, yes, just about any headphone can be plugged into it. I don't know about Case headphones in particular but there is a plug in jack on the card for headphones. Most all sound cards have this now.

The head/earphone input is where you can plug in but everyone has to remember, each piece performs specific functions.Just because it can plug into a generic headphone slot, your ear "buds" wont work because they are not a compatible "receiver" and vice versa.They transmitter "tower" cannot send to ANY headphone or ear piece (just because you might be able to plug them in) because they are not designed RECEIVE its transmissions (they are not compatible). I think folks forget they are not supposed to be "connected" but they are to receive the signal/sound. Good luck.
