Whether you need 50% or 90% volume to achieve "loud enough" is a matter
of gain values and doesn'

Actually, the power drawn by high or low impedance headphones is
probably pretty much the same But you get there from different
directions. At the risk of using an equation:
Power = voltage x current
High impedance headphones will require a higher voltage, but lower
current than a low imped

Aren't we talking about two things here? The power of the headphone amp
stage and the sensitivity of the headphones is one issue. But running
at 90% volume isn't a problem in itself - loud enough is loud enough.
In fact, operating at the top end of the range might be good if you
factor in digital

I'm a big headphone fan. I'm not one of these permanently using them
types, but high quality .mp3s or oggs through modest sony NC IEMs, on a
plane, with a screaming child two rows back, is roughly equivalent to
anything I can achieve at home with my budget. The next approach will
be to wire my por
those senn's would really benefit from a good headphone amp.
The Meier Arrieta is under 300.00 and would make those senns sing.
OTOH , good headphone listening can be addictive and you will just want
to spend more money on bettter phones, better amp,then universal IEM's
for when you want to tune

It takes *power* to drive bass. You n
The headphone out is well known to be "not so great". It's perfectly
loud for me (I like my headphones loud and 60% is about as high as I
can stand), but it is a little anorexic in the bottom end. And that's
with pretty bass-heavy cans...

I mean, it's pretty good other than the fact there is no BASS! It's
clear and quiet, but then there is that distinct lack of bass goodness.
Plus, there's not any over abundance of output level, either.
