Can it drive the HD6xx at moderate levels. The specs don’t mention the impedance compatibility of headphones...

PeteMtlIt's not an amp, it's a dac, i don't think it'll be able to drive 300 ohm headphones.

PeteMtlI believe that some of the reviews on the Zorloo website address the issue of what types of phones it will work with.

fl1ngsl1ngWhile not a discrete amp, it does have a small headphone amp. 32mW/channel, which should be enough for most average headphones (probably not HD-6XX).

SaeulfA spec like 32mw/channel is totally useless if the impedance under which this power is produced is not specified. 32mw under 300 ohms would be very powerful, while 32mw under 16 ohms would be totally useless even if your headphones are rated as such 16 ohms load. It would be usefull to publish power capability with the related impedance under which such measure is taken.

PeteMtlSure, I understand what you're saying. I was simply trying to point out that there is an amp in this device, and it will likely drive most people's headphones. However, do you seriously think this won't power my Shure SE215's? They're rated at 17 ohms. I have a feeling this DAC/amp will be loud enough to damage my hearing.

SaeulfMaybe yes, maybe not, I don’t know your Shure headphones, I don’t know what is their efficiency level with 1mw of power under 17ohms. I understand what you are saying. But when a manufacturer says that the power of their amp is 34mw, they are saying nothing helpful if they don’t specify the impédance load under this specification. Moreover, I suspect that this mw statement is given just to impress the buyer, while giving no clue at all as what real power this amp is capable in real life with real headphones under real impedances.
