Can anyone advise whether the Explorer2 and the Beyer T90 would be a good pairing. I find the Meridian sound on the warm side, but not too warm. I am concerned whether the Explorer's 130mW is enough for the T90's 250 ohm resistance.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
TIA !
Looking at the specs on Inner Fidelity, seems to me the Beyer T90 is similar to the Senn HD650, in terms of difficulty to drive:

There are some people who are happy pairing the Explorer2 and the HD650, and others (myself included) who found the sound lacking straight from the headphone output in the HD650. My guess is it may not drive the Beyer T90 to "satisfying" levels. It'll just be okay sounding without an external amplifier
Used as just a DAC, the Explorer2 is phenomenal
