300 mW @ 32 ohm. How powerful is my amp?

[l_simon_l]

Hi! I'm thinking about buying myself a new set of headphones. Right now i don't think I can afford both a deticaded amp and a pair of headphones. My setup right now is Audio Technica ATH-m40fs (60 ohm phones) trough a mindprint diport DA converter. The mindprint has a headphone output with 300mW @ 32 ohm and certainly have more than enough power for the audio-technicas.

Is this kind of power enough to drive cans like beyer 880, sennheiser 600 or 650?

I live in a small city and will have problems with auditioning headphones with my amp. I heard the HD600 and HD650 at a store and really liked what I heard

hmmm..lets see...

300mw at 32 ohms is approximately 32mW at 300 ohms (or my math is failing me

)

now while 32mw is sufficient for most headphones, you might lose out a little bit on dynamics with the senns.

Make sure you get a second opinion on all this...I am messed up with my basics and this could be wrong
