Hi guys, would appreciate some advice. Struggling with information overload in the audio world.
I have AKG K612 Pro headphones (and also Massdrop x Sennheiser PC37X Gaming Headset)
I was eyeing up Topping A30 but hearing a few comments saying it's not so good because of 'high internal impedance' which I don't really understand, but as far as I can tell it limits suitable headphone choices? I'd rather have an amp that's compatible with a wider range of headphones
Do you think Massdrop Objective 2 would be suitable? (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-o2-amplifier). I can't find any technical reviews for this though
It has two options, is this how loud the amp will go?
- Standard gain (2.5x low, 6.5x high)
- Medium gain (1.0x low, 3.3x high)
I mainly just Spotify and games, and never listen very loud, so would the 'Medium' with the lower gain numbers be the best choice?
Probably will be using with Topping D10 dac
Mainly looking at what's available on Massdrop or AliExpress because they usually have low cost shipping to my country. (I looked at Schiit stuff but shipping way too expensive)
