Frequently Asked Questions About Headphone Amps
Output impedance refers to the amp's internal resistance; a mismatch between amp and headphone impedance can affect frequency response and sound quality.
Balanced amps offer reduced noise and improved channel separation, but require a balanced audio source and headphones to realize their full potential.
Gain adjusts the amplification level, while volume control attenuates the signal *after* the gain stage; gain is crucial for impedance matching.
