100+ Head-Fier
So I've been going back and forth for a couple of weeks now on what amp to get for my new headphones, and I eventually settled on one of my earlier choices, the iFi Zen Air Can, simply because it was the 2nd most powerful option I could find within my budget, and the xBass and xSpace features seemed like nice things that I would actually make use of.
Its rated power output is 1200mW @ 32Ω. I mainly bought it for my Fostex T50RP 50th Anniversary edition, where if anything that might be on the lower end of ideal for the headphone, but my other headphones are a different story. My K702 says its rated for a max power of 200mW, and my CAL!, HD-25, and Tanchjim Zero I imagine, being much more sensitive, can probably handle a lot less than the K702.
Will I still be able to safely use them with this amp at lower gain settings? Or is there a real risk of blowing my headphones' drivers when using an amp that can provide way more power than they can handle?
