iRiver iFP 795 @ Class A Amp possible ?

[supersilent]

Hi, i searched the net and couldn't find a satisfying answer regarding the soundquality of the iRiver iFP 700 series. I want to plug him as source from time to time into my setup when i am to lazy to start-up my whole computer system.

Anyone knows if the 18mW output of the unit is satisfying enough regarding its size as source for a serious stereo setup (creek/epos) ?

Thanks folks.. ahh and besides this is my first post !

Welcome to Head-Fi!

iRiver quotes 18 mW into 16 Ohm which tranlates roughly into 500 mV RMS maximum - about a 1/4 of a standard CD player output of 2 V. So you wouldn't be able to drive your system to full power, otherwise there should be no problems connecting it.

Thank you for the quick answer! Do you have any suggestions for a portable most suitable for this task of pluggin into a setup like mine? Is there something with 2V around?
