KabooseYou do realize that nothing listed in your reply actually states the output impedance, but rather more of supported headphone impedance, right? I mean, if it really had an output impedance of 32 to 600 ohm, I wouldn't even bother with such absurd impedance.

wild_oneI’m curious about this as well (5 years later), as running a pair of Grado Sr80e does sound pretty bright through this amp. That recommended impedance range for headphones of 32-600 would suggest that the actual output impedance is not nominal (less than 1 ohm). I’d bet it’s in the 4 ohm range, as I believe recommended headphone impedance matching is generally considered to be at least 8x output impedance. So the recommended minimum headphone impedance for a 10ohm output would be ~ 80 ohms. Lots of studio monitors like AKGs won’t show any frequency response anomalies, but low impedance IEMs probably would. I think my Grados are around 30ohms, and they are bright sounding anyway. But the impedance matching may not be helping.
