Hi,
I own the MR816 X by Steinberg and was wondering whether the interface will hold the AKG K701?
They say it's a good headphone amp, and it does sound good with my ATH-M50s, but I'm not experienced enough to judge.

The specs are in here.

It seems it could load 75mw at 40 ohms, but i'm not sure I know what it means.

Any advice?

I don't think that's going to have the power output to properly drive the 701's. You might try it and disagree. I think my 701's sound pretty good out of my Behringer XENYX 802, but I definitely prefer my Little Dot MKIII to the Behringer. Hopefully some others with a bit more experience will chime in.
Good luck and welcome to Head-Fi.

AKG site recommends 150 mw max. I'd say you need that constant with 300 mw peak to drive them fully.

You'll need to try this combination for your self. They will not sound as load as the M-50, and you'll need to turn the volume all the way up.

Thanks for the replies.
I guess is the answer is try & then maybe get a reasonable headphone amp, or consider another more easily driven headphones.
I was thinking about the grado sr325is.
Any other suggestions?
