Hi All,
I am always wondering how you know if an amp has too much power. I do hear the difference between using high gain and low gain settings on a DAP when I used the iem. The low gain seems to have more details while the high gain gives stronger punches of the sound IMO.
I understand that if an amp damage the drive, that is too much power for sure. However, can we use a very powerful amp to drive headphones at very low power?
For example, a 100w speaker amp to drive my HD800 at its lowest power output setting. Will that work?
