Hey guys,
Just a quick question regarding the DT880's and how much power they need (specifically for the 600 ohm version).
My current DAC is the Focusrite Saffire 6 USB which has the following specs on the headphone output:
I was curious to know whether the 600 ohm Beyerdynamic DT880's could be sufficiently powered by this DAC. In addition, for future reference, how would I go about figuring this out? I would love to know the math behind it!
Thanks,
Neotriple
