Hi all!

I recently purchased the TANCHJIM SPACE, and I'm really happy with its sound quality—thanks to the reviews here!

I have a question: is it safe to connect the DAC directly to a mixing console? Aside from potential issues like sound distortion or unintended noises, could there be any risk in connecting a portable device like this directly to a console?

I’m particularly concerned about impedance matching. Could this possibly damage my TANCHJIM SPACE or the mixing console?

There is no impedance matching in line level audio. Perfectly fine to connect 3.5mm out to unbalanced inputs.
Nothing can/will be damaged in any way.
