Tonal Profile
1DD + 3BA with a WBFK-style armature on top. 124 dB/Vrms is the highest figure in this batch: one volt would put well over the pain threshold into your ear canal, which is another way of saying you will never use more than a few tens of millivolts.
Amplification Warning
At 124 dB/V, a source noise floor of 3 µV sits at about 14 dB SPL in the ear — audible in a quiet room. This is the case where a «better» desktop amplifier is usually a worse choice than a clean dongle.
