I'm looking for a small dongle DAC with 2V output to feed my portable amp (Topping NX7).
Because most manufacturers don't state voltage ratings for their dongle DAC I'm not sure which spec I have to pay attention to.
Should I just use the power at the highest given impedance and calculate the voltage?
Example:
According to specs, the Fiio KA1 has a voltage of 1.2V at 32 Ohms and 6.8mW at 600 Ohms which would translate to 2V.
There should be no volume difference between the fiio feeding my amp and a normal desktop amp with 2V feeding my amp, right?
My main problem is that I want something smaller than my BTR5 (which only has 1.84V with no load)
but my Apple dongle (EU version), which has the perfect size, only has about half a volt.
