I need help from the knowledgeable people here. If I want to drive a high impedance headphone, e.g. DT880 600 Ohm, what output power should my headphone amplifier have?
The DT880 600 Ohms has a sensitivity of 97db. According to this chart you would need 63 mW to drive the 880 with 600 Ohms with max output.

More or less any headphone amplifier discussed here , Objective2, Atom, Lake People 109, can do that.
Are there headphones on the market that are even higher in impedance? Does it make sense to look for a headphone amplifier with more output power? So I don't have to buy a new headphone amplifier when I might want to buy high a headphone with even more impedance than one of the 600 Ohm Bayers in the future.
