dha v590 mk2 be what type of headphone amp class ?

It is my understanding that the unit operates in Class A up to around 32 mW of power and then switches to Class AB for any power draw above that figure.

Can you tell me how safe it is to use +24 dBr of gain? I have tried and the amplifier works with this setting, but can it damage it?

 

[smutnyjoe]

I guess if they made this setting available for a user then it should be totally safe

It is completely safe for the amplifier as that is an option for gain setting in the user manual.

Just be careful with the volume position on the potentiometer as you may damage your headphones this way!

 

[DMITRIY R]

The manual does not say a word about the + 24 gain. The maximum gain is only +18.
In the instructions, I found an assurance about the security of other settings that are not explicitly described in the instructions.
Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it.

Meg tudná mondani, mennyire biztonságos a +24 dBr erősítés használata? Kipróbáltam és az erősítő működik ezzel a beállítással, de károsíthatja?

what do you need +18db for? +6,+12 is enough even for the most difficult-to-fold headphones. susvara, abyss.

The bigger the gain, the more aggressive the bass. Abyss 1266 TC reacts very well to the increase of gain.

what do you mean aggressive?

what do you mean aggressive?

Loud?

I use +12db for all headphones. It's inconvenient to change the pre-gain setting after switching headphones. The dip switches in the back are not the easiest to operate.

A stronger slam at low frequencies, a greater emphasis on low frequencies and a more textured sound. The lower the gain, the calmer the headphones play.

what type of headphones do you use?

 

[Alien HP]

what type of headphones do you use?

Kennerton GH50
Sennheiser HD 599
Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO
Sash Tres

The GH50 is the only headphone that doesn't need a pre-gain boost. The other ones do.

IMO biggest upside of Violectric amps.

I aggre with that, lower gain gives more laid back sound, bigger gain gives more aggressive, meat sound.
