Will this power 600 Ohm headphones like the Beyerdynamic DT880?

From what I read the amp is pretty good as well and could handle phones up to the HD650, which are 300 ohms I believe,. The DT 880s come in 32, 250 and 600 ohms models. So depending upon your model, the 600 Ohms would work, but would push the perfomance a bit. Some people with 600ohms headphones would still buy the Fostex for portability, and then might have a desktop amp at home. The opinion i gave is a uer's experience in the Head-Fi forum.

I do not have any 600 ohms headphone. I ha used it with Sennheiser 600 which is a 300 ohms headphone and it handles it very well. Use your ipod touch loaded with flac sw and down load flac music at hdmusic, you will be amazed!!

I don't have a 600 ohm HP. My HD800 is 300 ohms and the TEAC drives it more than fine while having plenty of volume left. Gluck.

I am using a 250ohm DT770Pro right now using only onboard audio from my desktop and the sound is incredible. I can not vouch for its effectiveness with mobile devices or sources with lower power than my desktop.

if u can... i suggest u go for the audioengine d1. its performance is superior to this. but if ur using it for headphones only.... this wil def. do the job.

Oh yes, they should give you all the volume you can take. From the start they sound great and then get even better as they break in. Just keep in mind that their impedance is 8 ohms.

Well all the headphones you listed don't need an amp. I'd probably Recommend the Beyerdynamic DT770s for a closed headphone. Or if you are using it at home the DT990.

It will drive them but on the slight side I'm running it on a pair of 8 ohm 60w and it's great sounding. There is a slight buzz if left at max volume and dead air but other then that it's well worth the price and hides well under the computer stand.

You should better get the audio technica ath-m50 instead. You will be happy. :)

I use this with the HD 650 (300 ohm), this amplify the sound for weaker media players that can't provide much output power to the headphones, or to complement media players that need an extra boost in power output. This also provides a bass and treble boost if desired.

Definitely. The dt770 are the best isolating headphones I've owned. Now be aware the 250ohm model will need an amplifier. If you don't want to use an amp get the 32ohm version Or 80ohm version. The lower the ohm the less need for an amp.

600 ohms is listed as the max output for the amp. I use a 250 ohm headphone set and I listen to the amp on low gain (it has a high /low switch on the side of the amp) and don't turn it up nearly all the way. I am sure that it will push a 600 ohm set. But whether or not there will be any distortion to the music is another matter.

Hi, this unit sounds amazing with my Sennheiser HD250 headphones, which are also rated at 300 ohms.It is an amazing piece of gear.

It would. I'm using a 500 milliamp adapter. No problems at full volume. ;-)

I would say no. The comments I've read (on head-fi) say that to get decent output out of high-impedance cans you'll have to use something more powerful. If going the vacuum route, that might be the Schiit Lyr or Asgard 2. I am using my Valhalla with 32 ohm headphones so can't comment on how it sounds with 600 ohm headphones connected.

The Beyerdynamic web site shows 250 ohm. See the linked spec sheet. All I know is these cans are hard to drive. I finally broke down and bought a Beyerdynamic A1 amp to push these. Its not the volume that is the problem; its power needed to push these cans to accurate resolution. These are much more finicky than my AKGs or Sennheiser headphones.http://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/shop/media//datenblaetter/DAT_T90_EN.pdf

As long as they are 8 ohms and 90db efficiency or better. Don't expect ear-splitting volume, but should sound very lush!
