Would this be sufficient ?

[PenguinMusic]

Hi,

I am looking for an all-in-one machine : streamer + DAC + headphone amp + power amp for "small" external speakers.
I have sportted an ad for a Linn DSM/1 which is offered for a good price.
But I am unsure whether it can drive some "demanding" headphones comfortably (I have, among other things, Dan Clark Aeon Flow closed headphones).

The specs are following :
Headphones output:
Max output voltage 6 V RMS, 8.4 V peak +15.6 dBv
Output impedance 11 Ω
DC offset voltage < 5 mV

I have no idea if that is considered as "sufficient" as I am more accustomed to specs given in mW at a specified impedance...

I think 6V RMS sounds quite good, but if anyone can enlighten me on this specific specification

Thanks a lot for your answsers.

Regards.

Those specs are sadly insufficient to tell whether this can drive challenging, low impedance headphones.
The numbers imply though that the headphone amp is rather poor, optimized for high impedance headphones like the HD600 or Beyerdynamic 600Ω.

Edit:
I'd look into pairing a WiiM Mini or WiiM Pro with a Loxjie A30 or Topping MX5.
