Headphone amplifier 600 ohms

[Noiws]

Hello. Need a 600 ohm headphone amplifier. At the moment there are two sound cards Motu m2 and Arturia Mini Fuse 4. The sound is quiet

Do I understand correctly that your headphones have an impedance of 600 Ohms (probably Beyerdynamic)? Then a Fiio K5 pro should output sufficient power at high gain.

budget ? Dimensions ? Portable/desktop ? Connections (jack, RCA, XLR, Penatconn ?)

Budget 200$. Size don't matter. Connection any of jack, RCA, XLR

For a 600ohms headphone I recommend the Lake People G109-S ... I don't know if it is still available to purchase though...

Edit: Lake People G103-S works too.

Note that 600 Ohm headphones typically need higher voltage for the same loudness. That's the only thing special or different.

...Impedance and resistance (both Ohms) is "the resistance to current flow". So with lower impedance you get more current. And power (wattage) is calculated as Voltage x Current, so more current (more voltage and/or less resistance) means more power. The loudness depends on how efficient the headphones are at converting electrical power to acoustical power. ...We don't normally measure acoustic power, and headphones normally have a sensitivity rating, not an actual electrical efficiency rating.
