I would really be interesting to hearing from people that know a bit more about this than myself.
Specifically around the science and how to pick the right amplifiers for planars.
It's my understanding that they are thirsty for current, I know for example when I'm listening to my Ether flows on a Topping Dx3 Pro vs the headphone out of my stereo amplifier headphone (Cambridge Audio CX80) out a similar sound level there is a "fuller" sound heard.
Which leads me to contemplate the upgrade from the dx3 pro to potentially something like a a dx7 pro to use as a desktop friendly daily driver. Problem is I'm finding spec sheets amongst vendors are really not consistent. I'm trying to scope down a few devices to have a listen to before making a purchase.
Amir arms (thank you btw if you read this!) us with a lot of information. Currently I'm focusing on the the values of 2v4 Vrms devices / power vs distortion using a similar resistance to the headphones. Are there other factors I need to be focusing on here?
Is anyone able to share experiences about what they look for around this?
