Yup that's what I meant nk77, it's not a problem. Just thought maybe my unit had a small fault. Thanks.
Well that's what I mean. Unless I am mistaken a low output impedance can't make a headphone, that does not have a flat sound curve, flat. It just allows the particular headphone to sound the way it was designed to sound. I know the Miracle is supposed to have a slight boost down low but I never really noticed it in the same way that I do with the T1.

1/8 rule all the way but consider multi BA drivers don't necessarily adhere to this (it is better to use as low of an output impedance as possible). This is due to not all BA drivers in an IEM having the exact same impedance to begin rating. Thus you can't really go by the 1/8 rule (more so applicable to dynamics) as this will vary depending on application. Tomcy filled me in on this and it makes a lot of sense. The Fit Ear 334 has 43 to 45 ohms impedance. But the bass and treble drivers are around 16 ohms now so that is a big difference between the mids which are rated quite a bit higher. So in reality you are less likely to alter the mids on them but very much the treble and bass with above 2 ohms output impedance ratings.

I've been looking small sized amp for using it at the office and i've been told that the T1 can take both dynamic (Dt880/600 ohm) and ortho (HE-500) into different teritory. I'm skiping the magni since it only sale on the US, and the T1 might be enough for me until i can get the M8
Currently i'm using the Dacport LX to drive all my cans, and the result is pretty good especially with the HE-500, i never find my HE-500's is being underpowered with the Dacport LX, it's pretty weird huh since the Dacport LX is only a DAC. I believe the Dacport LX can give more power to the T1 so that my HE-500's will become a different "beast"
I seriously doubt the T1 will power 600 ohm DT880s to anything approaching a normal listening levels. I've plugged all of my phones into the T1: Miracle, HE400, LCD2, and T1. Really I think it was designed with IEMs in mind first and foremost, but it works with all my phones....except the 600ohm Beyers. I can't even comment on sound quality here because I had to max the volume pot to hear what I normally hear well left of 11 o' clock on my other amps. I knew it has a pretty low gain and does not have the voltage swing for high impedance phones but I tried it anyway just for fun.
Really? What was your source? I easily drove my HD650s with the T1 at only 50-60% volume. Maybe your source line-out is low voltage.
It doesn't quite match a desktop amp, but is still very good.
Good point. It was straight out of the ipod. I will run it through a 2v DAC in the morning to see what happens.
