lvince95Indeed. My Audio-Technica R70x (470 ohm) are easier to drive than my AKG K240 Studios (55 ohm).

This is because these cans usually require a lot of current power at their impedances, and the Fiio E10k with a max output of 200 mW @ 32 Ω just doesn't have enough output power to drive these types of cans well. Even the Objective2 amp does not drive the Audeze LCD-2 (70 ohm impedance) well because the LCD-2 is very power hungry.
With that being said, this little guy works well enough with most dynamic headphones (<200-250 ohm impedance) since dynamics are usually not very power hungry.
Just a tidbit to those new to the audiophile world, and a reminder to those who forgot. This is a great budget DAC/Amp to begin with, but know it has limitations.
