I am planning to buy a headphone (DT770) , mainly for my Octa MK2
( Headphones out level: +17 dBu peak Output impedance: 55 Ω ) and DN ( Headphones out level: +22 dBu Output impedance: 55 Ω)
I am having doubts between the 80 ohm and 250 ohm model.
From Bax-shop : A rule of thumb is that the headphone impedance is at least 8 times greater than the amplifier’s output impedance. So with an impedance of 16 ohms, the output impedance of the amplifier must be 2 ohms. This ratio is called a damping factor.
I think the 250 ohm model is the best ? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Do I need a Headphone amplifier with the 250 ohm model ?
