I'm getting my self a Pandora UMPC, which I plan to use for both portable listening and as a studio in my pocket. After poking around a bit, I've found the specs of the sound system
The internal amp can produce 150mW at 16ohms.
Now, I'm aware that a good headphone amp will increase the sound quality of any portable device. What I'm wondering is if the internal amp is powerful enough to drive, say a pair of beyerdynamics DT770, or even DT880 without necessitating an external amp? Note I'm not asking if it will sound good. Only if it will drive to a good strong level
Forgive me for sounding a bit "noobish", I will admit I'm fairly new to finer audio gear. If the info I've provided is not enough to make a guess, please tell me what more is needed.
Thanks a lot. This site is the greatest
