Frequently Asked Questions
While it handles up to 64 ohms, extremely high-impedance headphones (above 100 ohms) might sound a bit thin and lack volume.
There's a slight channel imbalance at very low volumes, but it's negligible at typical listening levels – a common trait for this type of device.
No, it only supports standard unbalanced 6.3 mm connections, so balanced headphone setups won’t benefit.
