FWIW, my Cowon A2 does a fine job powering these.

I use the 75ohm switch on Minibox-E, and it seems to tame the highs a bit and give more weight to the lows. This sound signature is great. Have you tried the PtoS switch with your im716s? -CK |

I'm surprised it is actually that quiet, but you could always do a podectomy and choose low value resistors. See thread on podectomy. |
