Getting a PA2V2 for my 770/80s. So psyched.
That is not correct, higher impedance needs more voltage and less current. The E11 only runs into a current limit when driving low impedance (less than about 60 Ω) headphones at high volume.
If you find the E6 enough for 250 Ω, then the E11 in the higher voltage mode would be enough (for you) for 600 Ω too, assuming there is enough gain to actually reach its maximum output. In both cases, the power at clipping level is almost the same at slightly more than 12 mW.
Well you've been warned... keep using IDM and if you get more funny looks, I'll b sorry to hear it. I cam across the term when I got into Drum n Bass, some Drum n Bass guys where doing a very Nu Jazz sound, and apprently DnB + NuJazz=IDM or something... then I found a lot of negative disdain for the term... who cares
THe dt 990 will be wonderful for EDM
Also an E11 for DT 880 600 ohm... yea they have the Voltage to drive them [most things do] the issue if ofc the current. having enough of it to really get the Full sound, rich Mids slighty bright highs and ofc that deep bass... CUrrent is what can cause you to lack in minimilistic imporvements that the DT 880 600 bring over the 250. My FiioE6 drives the 250's decently...
And for me the E11(the E11 is also not enough for the 250 ohm either,the E6 is sufficent... sufficent is not even good nor great I suppose the E11 would be pleasently sufficent), it losses detail and shrinks the sound stage for me compared to my cMoy. And ofc both my E11 and my cMoy have enough gain to reach ouput... but ofc maybe I need to freshen up on the ohms theory as well as refresh my self on all these techincal terms
But I still want to run my 600 ohm through a Tube, and a DAC. No point in getting a can as nice as the 880 600ohm and not using a Tube amp
im still in the process of comparing the e11 and the cmoy, and i own the 770s (250 ohm) and not the 880s. but i will say that the e11 can easily drive my cans to ear-splitting volume... what do you mean not enough? is sound stage even affected by amps? i mean, if your amps have enough power/voltage/current/ whatever it takes to drive your headphones to high spl, wouldnt it have enough to maintain the highest level of sound stage your cans are capable of?
