Not started my Crack build yet, I have HD600. Being as all of the wireless headphones I've researched seem to be 32 ohm, what is the impedance that the Crack actually sees? If the transmitter is rigged to be plugged into the headphone socket will the impedance of the transmitter also be 32ohm? If that is the case I would guess that no wireless headphone will be compatible. Anyone tried it?

...I don't think it works that way...

The input impedance of the transmitters doesn't seem to be listed.  It isn't unreasonable to assume that it's somewhere between 600 and 10,000 Ohms.

I may be missing something, but I can't quite see the role of a Crack for wireless headphones. The Crack amplifies a line level signal to drive a pair of wired headphones directly.

For wireless, the "transmitter" takes a line level signal, sends it to the headphones using some form of wireless transmission and then amplifiers in the headphones take over. What would the Crack be doing?

Paul: "Looking pretty" - there is that - but, IMHO, I think it sounds even prettier than it looks.

Looks like I've misunderstood the technical niceties of this but I think you can see what I had in mind.
