Synergy between first-party amps & headphones

What are the most power hungry high impedance headphones?
Hi. I'm constructing a headphone amplifier that's supposed to drive any pair of headphones, but I'm not sure of how powerful I actually need it to be. I'm currently getting about at least 1W output up to about 150Ohms which is enough to blow most headphone, but what about headphone with a higher...- Plecto

Do you guys prefer dynamics or orthos?
Dynamic drivers are the main drivers in the headphone market but over the course of the past few years, orthodynamic drivers have gained in popularity, reviving a once rarely used technology.

Whats your endgame setup?
I know this hobby is very hard to have an end...especially when you come here. However, I have set that the endgame headphone for me will be the LCD-2 or HE-6,for now.

Are DACs for headphones the same ones used by speakers?
I could not find this anywhere, but can DACs we use for our headphones also be used with speakers, or do speakers have a different market of DACs? I know a lot of times speakers are connected to a receiver which has a DAC built in, but are receivers the only option for speakers? I ask because if...- Sonido

Reading a 6moons review of the 'AMI Intl. Inc DS5' (not the most memorable product name), I wanted to know whether it would adequately drive the Hifiman HE-6. I happily discovered that the reviewer gear-tested the HE-6 with it. I was less happy when I read this paragraph; "With the...- bassophile

Can you compares IEMs with full-size headphones? I was wondering if a comparison could be made with the Etymotic ER 4 S and the LCD 2, HE 6, HE 500. Its really the sound you're comparing. I think ergonomics might come second, after the sound. Anyway, I hope some kind of roundup could be done.- glorkaglickflic
