How many ohms can the FiiO E10K handle?

“The E10K is still capable of doing 24/96 and puts out 200mW@32Ohm (<1.04Ω). It’s suitable for 16-150Ohm headphones but it can actually even handle the 300Ohm Sennheiser HD650.”

What is the sensitivity for the DT 990 PRO?

The sensitivity of the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 ohm headphones is 99.14 dB/V SPL by the voltage and 93.42 dB/mW SPL by the power. The sensitivity by voltage reflects the relative “loudness” of the headphones among others – the higher is the value, the louder are the headphones.

Does the FiiO E10K need drivers?

I personally prefer ASIO over WASAPI; FiiO has their own proprietary ASIO driver uniquely designed for the E10K which you can download the firmware for on their website. You will also have to download and install the necessary ASIO support component which is available on foobar2000’s website.

Is the FiiO A3 a DAC?

Note: The FiiO A3 is a portable amplifier, not a DAC. It only amplifies the signal; it doesn’t clean it up like a DAC would. The amplified signal sounds much better, especially on headphones, but if you’re looking for sharper, clearer sound, go with a DAC instead of a portable amp.

Can e10k Power 250 ohms?

Not very many amps at this price range that can drive a 250 ohm load with high proficiency, but this particular amp is one of the more beefy amps/DACs in sub-$100 price bracket.

Do you need an amp for DT 990 PRO 250 Ohm?

Power Requirements The DT 990 Pro, without a doubt, requires an amp. These come in at an impedance of 250 ohms and a sensitivity of 99dB. This is the first headphone that actually required me to set my amplifier (JDS Labs Element II) to High-Gain.

Do you need a DAC for 250 ohm headphones?

But you don’t need to go that high end to get a good sound for 250 ohm headphones, your issue is that both the Fiio and the SB you bought are only powered through the USB port, which limits the output power. You need an AMP/DAC with a separate power adapter.

Can you use FiiO E10K with phone?

The port of the E10K-TC is a combo of both power supply and data transfer, which is designed for desktop computers or laptops. It is not recommended to connect it to mobile devices.

Can FIIO e10k drive 250 ohm?

Do you need a DAC amp for 250 ohm headphones?

So let’s get straight to the facts, the short answer is that yes, you are able to use your 250-ohm headphones without an amplifier, they will play sound.

What amplifier do I need for 250 ohm headphones?

For 250 ohm headphones like Beyerdynamic, you need a 31-ohm amplifier. A general rule of thumb is to consider amplifiers that have an impedance that is eight times lower than your headphones.
