Hmm, hopefully it has more than 2.4v. 1vRMS (common output of portable devices) is ~2.828vpp sine wave (e.g. you need >2.828v supply just to get a unity gain buffer out of this).
Hmm...230 hours? Okay, so then they're figuring 10mA quiescent or is that figuring in projected average draw while driving headphones?
