In Reply to: The headphones that you have chosen may not work well with that amp posted by EdAInWestOC on August 8, 2019 at 08:49:18:
The JDS Labs Atom will drive both my new Sennheiser HD 650 and new Beyer DT 770 Pro's (250 ohm) to satisfactory levels, even on Low Gain setting.If I do get better amp, it will likely be a Massdrop THX AAA 789 which got an extremely positive review at Audio Science Review. OTOH the Schiit Valhalla got an extremely negative review from the same reviewer, (see link below). The Valhalla, according to ASR, puts out considerable less clean power in to 300 ohms than the JDS Atom.
