It is supposed to go very well with the dCS Lina Headamp. I will see :
The amplifier will drive the full 14Vrms (volts root mean square, the ‘average’ voltage output – the ‘peak’ output voltage will be considerably higher than this), down to 45Ω, which was the objective to ensure headphones that require significant amounts of voltage are correctly driven.
This allows the amplifier to drive an impressive maximum of 4.5W per channel continuous into 45Ω, while maintaining the excellent linearity typically associated with a Class A amplifier.
You can’t buy a 1m length of top of range interconnect cable from some brands for that. We all know that cable prices are fair and reasonable. So a pair of cans for 8K must indeed be a bargain .
On the paper, neither grill nor any protection of the diaphragms when the headphone is in use seem a quite bad idea to me.
One day, there will always be a small metal thing laying somewhere (dime, pin, dust…) that will be attracted by the headphone magnets, very likely to touch and damage the diaphragms.
Same if one of your finger rips when manipulating the headphone and touch one of the diaphragm…
