Headroom Notes
iFi states the single-ended output directly in volts at 600 ohms (3.2 V, and 6.3 V balanced) instead of in milliwatts — the same quantity the calculator needs, stated the useful way round for once. Battery powered, so the host supplies data only and the output does not sag when the phone is low. No output impedance published for this model.
