You are one of those guys who lurks around here just to tell people they are wrong? 700mW of the O2 vs. the 1.2W of the schiit into 32 ohms is near double. How's that? You are right. I am wrong.
Don't really know or care how you came up with your 1.2db but I don't think it really matters as the O2 can power the Beyers and power wise so should the Schiit based on specs. I don't have one so I don't know and neither do the rest of us.
Regardless of who is right or wrong (who cares?), it's better to have the facts straight, especially when quoting numbers. Quoting numbers carries some responsibility to get things right (and for others to correct any mistakes), because often times people assume numbers to be factual, particularly when they don't come from some flaky product advertisement page.
First of all, Levener was asking about 600 ohms Beyerdynamics, so the only logical thing to do would be to compare power output into 600 ohms, right? That's
88 mW quoted vs. 130 mW. Whatever the amps are capable of into 32 ohms is irrelevant. For the record, into 33 ohms the measured result of the O2 was 613 mW @ 1% THD, so it's less than even the 700 mW you said. Not sure where you got that figure from, but it sure is about double at 32 ohms. At 600 ohms, not so much.
Also, I clearly typed 1.7 dB because 10 * log10 (130 / 88) = 1.7 dB, not 1.2 dB. If these figures are wrong, then it'd be good if I or somebody else could correct them. Reporting the wrong thing is not some kind of mortal sin. Let's move on.
