Greetings,
I own Mytek Brooklyn Dac+ . It is connected to a Innous Zen Mark 3 for streaming music.
I would like to purchase new headphones but I don't fully understand how to match headphones to a Dac from technical point of view.
The Mytek Brooklyn Dac+ has the following specs for the headphone output.
HEADPHONE OUTPUTS: Reference High Current,
High transient Headphone Amp, 500mA, 6 Watts,
dual headphone jacks, designed to drive hard to
drive headphones.
Are there any examples of headphones that would be a successful match?
How is the calculation and considerations whether or nor these two would be a match?
Would attaching a valve headphone amp to the Mytek be possible?
I was particularly interested in the Audeze LCDX headphones:
Maximum power handling 5W RMS
Maximum SPL>130dB
Frequency response10Hz - 50kHz
THD<0.1% @ 100dB
Impedance 20 ohms
Sensitivity 103 dB/1mW (at Drum Reference Point)
Minimum power requirement >100mW
Recommended power level >250mW
Would the Audeze LCDX match the Mytek Brooklyn Dac+ ?
Thank you for any help you may have,
Kind regards,
