Hello !
I have a Beyerdynamic DT880 600ohm, and I'd like to buy an amp in the 150 Euros range.
I'm new to this hobby and I'm not yet 100% confident with my knowledge of the technical terms. I've been looking into the Topping brand and unfortunately, they don't write the output power of their amps for 600ohm. Only up to 300ohm.
For example, the output power of Topping L30 is as follow : 280mW x 2 @300ohm.
I've been using this website (http://www.digizoid.com/power.php) to see what would be required for a 600ohm, 96 dB SPL/V sensitivity headphones, and it says that i'd need 41.83 mW to have enough power for 110 dB, at peak level. I'm not sure that i'm able to find the voltage / current given by the amp as well.
So how would I know if the amp would correctly drive my headphones ? How can I calculate that ? I also EQ the headphones to Harman so I guess that it might need a little more power since it lowers the volume.
If you have any advises regarding the amp I should get, be it from the Topping line or another, I'd be glad to read them as well !
Thanks for your time and your help !
