Yes the RCA is line level only they don't drive headphones you need a headphone amp .
RCA should connect directly to the amps. But besides from using very high quality phones and high standards re sound-quality. Is not some in ear type of phones very very sensitive you amplify noise greatly. What is the typical volume you use with the Touch ? remember that the Touch uses a digital volume control reading this forum settings lower than 70% can affect sound-quality, some claim anything but 100% is bad . This depends greatly on system gain some uses this volume directly to power amps, but with such gain that 100% volume is as loud as you wan to go but not louder, this means that at lower volume the total volume is simply to low to notice any decrease in quality. So the sennheisers with rather low sensitivity might need more volume to sound the same. So if you really have hifi phones of good quality and an ear for good sound. I would crank the Touch up to 100% volume and conect a headphone amp and use it's volume for listening. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
