Hi people.
How different would be driving a Beyerdynamic DT880, 250 ohm and 600 ohm versions from a vintage 70's pre-amp (Sansui CA-3000, Pioneer SPEC-1...), a new small mixer board (Mackie VLZ3, Allen&Heath, etc...), or a new dedicated headphone amplifier, like the Headroom series? Assuming that the source is either very high quality turntable or cd-player.
I know that the headphone output impedance of the Mackie VLZ3 is 60 ohm, if it can be of any help.
I also know for sure that the Headroom can drive 250 ohm and 600 ohm headphones, but what about the other two options?
And what about sound quality between the three options?
