Hello,
I have decided that I am going to purchase the Beyer DT880 600 ohm headphones for music listening/monitoring purposes. I compose orchestral music as a hobby, and it'll be 50/50 between listening/monitoring.
I am currently wanting to update to a more advanced soundcard with more inputs/outputs so I can compose more efficiently, but I also require a good headphone amp to drive the Beyers.
I am wondering which spec to look at on soundcards to help me determine if it will suffice when using the DT880's.
For example, here are the specs for the headphone output of one of the external soundcards I am looking at, the presonus firestudio mobile:

not sure how to read this...
another example:
the M-audio Fast Track Ultra:
does the "working range" mean that they will drive a 600 ohm headphone? What does Maximum output level mean?
any insight to these questions greatly appreciated :)
