Reply to comment by Lelouch25 in My JDS Atom amp on high gain sounds MUCH wider with Planar headphones? by Lelouch25

>Would you not agree that 250ohms would sound thin under powered when used with an inadequate dongle Dac?

Ohms are literally only half of the equation. It's impedance and sensitivity that determine the power demands.

For example, the popular Beyerdynamic DT 990 comes in a bunch of variants, the 32 Ohm and 600 Ohm variants both need the same power because the 600 Ohm one has higher sensitivity.
