headphone amplification

When the DAC's line-out is connected to the headphone amplifier, it's signal attenuated by the volume control and raised or lowered by the gain. Thus, using the headphone amplifier can reduce the noise in the signal going to the headphones compared to using the headphone output of the DAC. This...

Hello everyone I want to know about the entry-level headphones, and I am looking for the best sound production. I appreciate the suggestion from an experienced members. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, 1st thread here, thanks for having me. Not sure if there are the right tags, feel free to correct me/them. I got myself a decent enough multimeter and decided to test how loud I should listen to music. After much reading, I proceeded as follows: 1. Using REW I saved to file a 0 dBFS, 1KHz...

Hello guys I'm new here and I don't know too much about this stuff. I am looking to go from tidal on a computer to some variant of the DCA Aeon. Also, I listen to metal so I like to play fairly loud music. I understand that the DCA Aeon is very power hungry but I don't know how much I will need...

Hello, I'd love advice about adding headphone amplification to my desktop computer/mic interface/speaker setup. I am replacing some headphones I've had for ages and never loved (Sennheiser Momentum). At first I decided to get the Austrian Hi-X60. But now I'm dithering and thinking I should get...

Heya, there's a couple of threads asking about safe listening levels and people asking about voltage/power requirements in almost any amp/headphone thread. Here's my take on this: Noise Exposure Limits The EPA and WHO recommend that noise should be kept below 70 dBA over 24 hours and below 75...

Hello, I am Lartyk and am new to the forum but also to audio I recently purchased a Focal Clear OG and now I would like to find a DAC and AMP set or an all-in-one DAC/AMP that would allow me to take full advantage of it without breaking the bank I'm currently running my headphones on the Cyrus...

Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro 32, 80, 250 ohm all versions need 100 mW power. In this case, how is it easier to drive 32 ohm headphones than 80 or 250? if the audio interface audio output has a constant voltage ; 32 ohm dt 770 pro, uses much more amperage ( 'i' ) than 80ohm or 250 ohm dt 770 pros...

Hello. I'm having an issue with some brand new Hifiman Sundaras. I'm noticiong some distortion in the bass region. Using this tester , starting at 0:40 seconds, i hear some distortion along with the bass sine wave. Testing with a Focusrite 2i4 at max volume, but with YouTube at 45% i dont hear...
