Power is measures in Watts (W) or milliWatts (mW)
ok i kinda understand now
You can read Innerfidelity sheets, there you can find how much voltage is needed for 90dB for each headphone.
You need some math to know how much current is needed, but it's not a very useful piece of information anyway since very little amps talk about how much current they can supply.
i found fiio A5 and dac/amp like e17k Vpp so we can use it to calculate total power they can produce right?
Me x3: There's no explanation of mine on that thread as I can see, but the math on your examples is not working fine.
DT990 Pro needs 1mW to reach 96dB at 500Hz
HD600 needs 1mW to reach 97dB at 1000Hz
K702 needs 1Vrms to reach 105dB at 1000Hz
So you are comparing green apples, with red apples, with oranges. Not a good idea.
Here's comparable info:
DT990 Pro needs 1mW for 94dB at 1000Hz
HD600 needs 1mW to reach 97dB at 1000Hz
K702 needs 1mW to reach 88dB at 1000Hz
nah i still don't understand if it related to Hz? can you explain that? how to determine if we give 1mw it will produce 94db at 1000Hz i still don't understand this since on spec list it only write 96db SPL/mW
and what is the different between SPL/mW and SPL/V?
