What is the key factor(s) to look for when considering the use of a stereo/speaker purposed amplifier, as a headphone amplifier?
I recently came across a Monacor SA-100, and having tested it, it does a good job to the point where I think it's better than my O2 amp.
However spec wise (as you can see below) it's not very forth coming with information.
Max. power 2 x 50 WMAX
Stereo 4 Ω 2 x 25 WRMS
Stereo 8 Ω 2 x 20 WRMS
InputsPC: 140 mV/46 kΩ
CD: 140 mV/46 kΩ
aux: 140 mV/46 kΩ
player: 140 mV/12 kΩ (high), 25 mV/32 kΩ (low)
Frequency range 20-20,000 Hz
S/N ratio> 70 dB
Digital echo -
Equalizerbass: ±12 dB
Treble: ±12 dB
Power supply 230 V˜/50 Hz/150 VA
Admiss. ambient temp. 0-40 °C
Connections:
PC: RCA L/R
CD: RCA L/R
aux: RCA L/R
player: 3.5 mm jack
speaker: spring-load. speaker term.
Any reasons why I should not continue to use it?
