It will eventually, but not before the Noire reaches 124dB SPL Peak and potentially damages the headphones and your hearing.So, why this protection limit will not engage if we have a 13 ohm headphone?
Exactly what it says. There's no hidden meaning.What mean in the first post by amir “When pushed into protection with loads < 32 ohm, the unit shut off” and “Protection limited at 16 and 12 ohms”.
A protection circuit exists, but in practive your ears and the Noire will call it quits before the A90D does.
Correct. Noise and distortion is not meaningfully affected by a 13Ω load, and is so low in the first place as to be conpletely inaudible.And why noise would be “not even remotely udibile”, there shouldn’t be a significant reduction in thd+n at that impedance?
