Sony DAPs under powered?

[Rooster81]

I'm not the most knowledge about power output, but looking at the Sony DAPs, they seem to be underpowered for headphones over 32 ohm. Or am I missing something?

I would agree on the A306 maybe, but how much over 32ohn? Are we talking 64 or 300?

Well the NW-ZX707 says:

Maximum Power Output (JEITA 16Ω/mW) 0.4-1.1mW (32Ω)​

And the fiio btr3k says its output is:
BAL about 78mW（32Ω loaded）

That's why I feel like I'm missing something?

That power spec is for EU version that is volume/power capped, the normal non capped specs i think is 50mw unbalanced 200mw balanced at 16 ohms

Fascinating! Where is that listed? I would have assumed that info would be more visible.
