Somewhere over the rainbow...
So I'm rather confused about how AC and DC operates in headphone amplifiers and headphones. From what I've gathered, headphones and speakers use Alternating currents (amps) and not DC. But then how does DC comes into play? Is AC carried "through" DC? Why do we measure headphone output power by volts (or volts RMS) or milliwatts instead of milliamps or something of that nature? I can wrap my head around everything else.. But not this one dilemma


P.S Idm a complex answer!
