Hey Guys!
 
I just bought a Pioneer HDJ-2000 together with a Asus Xonar DG sound card.
This sound card has a built-in head-phone amplifier which has 3 pre-defined options:
 
VOIP Mode for < 32Ohms headphones
Pro gaming mode for 32~64Ohms headphones
Exciter mode for >64Ohms headphones 
 
Now ... I noticed with this bass test that my headphone definately has a stronger / deeper bass with the
Exciter mode switched on ... but the HDJ-2000 has an impendance of 36Ohms ... 
 
Is it okay to set it to Exciter mode? I mean ... would it do harm to my headphones as it get's over-amplified (I'm guessing?)
Doesn't sound like a great idea to me :)
 
btw .. I'm not talking about volume... I'm really talking about punchness/deepness of the bass which is just better
in the Exciter mode while keeping the volume the same.
 
Maybe any other tips?
 
Thanks a lot!

Maximum power input: 3,500mW

I wouldn't be to worried. I doubt that sound card has power to damage the headphones.
