*SOLVED*My DAC can't recognize my new(and first) headphones?(Updated with pics)

[BeyondSmash]

I plug my just arrived Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms headphones into the jack of my DAC (Fiio e10) with the headphone thing above the jack. I am new to the headphone thing so can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I really would like to hear through these headphones with the DAC.

Try the line out in the back and see if it does anything. Does it work with other headsets and do the 990's work with other sources?

I only have that headset and I just confirmed it works on my PC's front USB panel where the headset jack is located. Although, it of course was very quiet because it doesn't have an AMP which is why I have that DAC and AMP. Anyway, when I plug in the headphones into the back coaxial port of the DAC it looks to me that it sticks have way in. That or I just don't want to push it in more to potentially break it. I'll show a picture of what it looks like when I plug it in the back DAC port.

Don't plug the headphones in there!!  That is for RCA type connectors.   The line out is where you have plug that green connector, I am guessing that goes to your speakers right now?.

Yeah, I thought so. Well how can I get to hearing my headphones through my DAC

 

EDIT: I fixed it...I just had to replace where my speaker output was in my DAC with my headphone output jack. Thanks for the help anyway guys

I now wonder what the jack with the headset icon above it is for...

wiggle it around in the front headphone port and see if you hear anything at all

Can you unplug the speakers and plug the headphones to see if you can hear anything?  the volume will be low but you should get some sound, is just for testing.

Perhaps the E10 can only 'choose' 1 output, either the line out or the headphone out (can't be both)? I'm fishing in the dark though, I've never used E10 before....

Mmm, well anyway, the headset icon jack works for the speakers, too, so I can use both.

Nope, both 3.5mm jacks have a signal at the same time. The front port is volume controlled.
