Hi folks, sorry if this is a stupid question or if this is not the right topic (in which case I'd be happy to be redirected).
I own a THX 789 which is connected to my turntable via RCA (and to my DAC via XLR). Now, for serious listening I use my Aeon Flow Open headphones. But from time to time I would also like to listen to my vinyl records without headphones. I own a Libratone Zipp speaker which has a 3.5mm audio jack. Unfortunately I could not find any specs of this interface and also the Libratone support could not give me any information.
The Zipp has an internal amplifier and my guess is that depending on whether it is active or bypassed when connecting it via the 3.5mm jack it is supposed to be connected to a LINE level output (SE PASS in case of the THX) or could be connected directly to the (amplified) SE headphone output, right? Could it harm my THX or the Zipp if I just tried one or the other? Somewhere I read that in case the impedance of a connected device is too low it could basically hot-wire the SE output, is that right?
