Which headphones of Drop's currently available?
I have some rewards points to burn but there's no obviously good options on Drop right now for headphones Contenders Ultrasone - maybe? I don't own any Ultrasones, so curious. Looks like garbage travel headphone which could be useful also. Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro. - Maybe? I have the DT 880 Good price point, really uncomfortable headphones but could be interesting to try the upgraded version. E-MU - strong contender but $400 is a bad price point for what it is. Which of the above would you choose and why? Nothing else on Drop is relevant to my interests, because Already own 6xx 820 800 s Ether cx Garbage / Consumer grade Meze 99 - garbage bass canons, hard pass No gaming headphones obviously Sennheiser wireless - no to wireless/bluetooth Hifiman - I have 2 of drop hifimans and they make really bad cheap shit on Drop, hard pass on HE-R7DX Aeon - I own the closed, Drop refuses to address #padgate so no reason to buy open Beyerdynamic 177x - wireless, nope Too similar 8x / 560s...

I might have to Pioneer a call. P.S. I realized my receiver had volume locked at 0.0DB. It is now set to +20.00 max, and it goes very loud that I can no longer raise volume all the way up. Thank you!
Is there any way of measuring the headphone output impedance safely and reliably?

My post was mainly because I wanted to know if I can use my Fluke 289 for something like this without damaging the amp. :)
If you have an Apple Airport Express, then you can use it as a DAC, it has a very good DAC inside from Wolfson/Cirrus Logic, and the Airport Express has an analog audio output. You then use a 3.5mm mini jack to RCA stereo cable which is then plugged into the minijack output of the Airport Express and then at the other end you plug the cable into the RCA input of your O2. You then can completely bypass your Pioneer if this is what you want.
