Expert Audio Engineering Commentary
Tonal Profile
A DAC and headphone amplifier with no analogue input at all, which is why the input fields here are empty rather than unknown. Two separate headphone stages: the 6.35 mm Extreme Power output reaching 10 V into 100 ohms and up, and a 3.5 mm IEM output deliberately limited to -3 dBu (0.55 V) with a 10 dB lower noise floor for sensitive in-ears.
Amplification Warning
10 V into 100 ohms will drive anything in this catalogue, including 600 ohm headphones, and will destroy hearing with sensitive in-ears on the wrong output. That is what the separate IEM jack is for; use it.
