Thanks, I am interested in the 250ohms or even 600ohms Beyerdynamics DT-990. It would be nice to be able to use this DAC with the 600ohms as I have heard good things about this model but I don't really want to get amp right now.

I have a DAC that has the following specs (at the end of this post). It has just a single 1/4 output that is described as both "headphone output" and "line outputs", i guess depending on use.   I was just wondering if it would effectively power 250 ohms or even 600 ohms headphones to do...

Thanks! Unfortunately, this goes right over my head as I don't understand the tech too well. The 2nd part of your sentence just makes no sense to me.   I do know that it can be used as a headphone output, it is designed to be. But not necessarily as a headphone amp, it wasn't advertised to be...

I have an old Native Instruments Guitar Rig Mobile I/O USB audio device that outputs 24/192 on a single stereo out, 1/4. Below are the specs which I guess are divided between "line outputs" and "headphone output" because it depends on what the output is used for, however, there is actually only...

For now just a Zune & a standard stereo system receiver module headphone jack. So I would want to have it very reasonable as un-amped for the first while. (with an option to simply improve quality even more when i get an amp) If i could get a headphone amp for less than $100 I would consider...

I am looking for a great <$200 pair of headphones. I was considering the ATH-D50 and AD700 due to them supposedly both having clear, uncolored sound with great clarity across the spectrum from what I have read. (both ideal prices for me). However, I am learning that bass is missing on open...
