Which Port?

Coopermar · October 3, 2020

Hey everyone, I just purchased Beyerdynamic 300R Tygrs. I have been using astro a40s for the last 6 years so I'm excited to see the difference. I just realized, however, that my motherboard has a bunch of 3.5mm ports on the back and am unsure which to use. This is my rear IO Picture. I want to make sure I'm using the one that will give the best quality. Thanks.

Line out. It's the only one that works.

Ok thanks. I realized now that the cable is a bit short. Would plugging it into the front IO cause issues/less performance?

I don't think so, however I can't find those online except for other people talking about them so I can't see the stats. Even then, I imagine the amp would still work even through the front audio, if it was needed. Try it out. Can't cause any damage. Extension cables are cheap though.

Yea they're only on Beyerdynamic's website. I was recommended them instead of the 990s because I was told they require an amp at 80hms. These are supposedly reworked 990s and only 32ohms.

Ah, in that case you're fine.
