What are the specifications of the D1 DAC/AMP? What are its output, impedance , etc?

Darkrai10 ohm output impedance for the amp.
Gain is very high though, measured 20db.
The amp is not intended for sensitive headphones/IEM , but rather for medium impedance, medium sensitivity/efficiency headphones.
Let me know if you need more info, I got one right here.

LQDForceSo given the choice of the 80 or 250 ohm DT 770 would recommend the 80 ohm?
I guess it comes down to the fact it's a USB powered amp, so it's not got the power available to drive higher impedance optimally?
I'm new to audiophilia, so I'm just checking I understand things correctly.

neuneuThe D1 will power both of them just fine.
If you want to understand output impedance and impedance in general, read NwAvGuy's excellent article here: http://nwavguy.blogspot.co.il/2011/02/headphone-amp-impedance.html
Anyway, The 80 Ohm DT770 is the better option in my opinion, not only because of it matching the D1 , but because it sounds a bit different than the 250 Ohm model. More bassy, punchy and a tiny bit darker/less bright.

kenliuThat's exactly my observation as well! The 80 Ohm model is bassier and more punchy.
