1 ohm is generally desirable for very low impedance IEMs. You probably won't notice any difference on higher impedance cans.

Lateralusokay, so something along the 32ohm range would work? I read something about the amp:headphone impedance ration being a 1:10 or something. So that left me a little confused in terms of having 10ohm headphones.

SaltieWith 32 Ohm headphones, the 1 Ohm mod will give you a more clinical, "correct" sound. With the stock 10 Ohm configuration, the sound is more musical and free. That's how most people have described it. There are no headphones with 10 OHms we have heard of. Most are 32 and up.

CEntranceyeah, that's what I was wondering about. Thanks.

SaltieThe higher the output impedance, the higher the audio signal loss. Mainly bass is reduced. (By the way, it's the 1/8th rule. The output impedance of source should be 1/8th the headphone impedance or less, to avoid any audio degradation). So you generally want an amp with very low output impedance. Most well reviewed high-end amps are around 1 ohm or less. 10 ohms is pretty high, considering the cost. You might be fine with a 250 ohm headphone. But a 32 ohm headphone, 1/3 of the signal would be cut out.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.

DROP BMR1 Broken?
Can anyone help me with this? Went away for dinner and came back home to my speakers making this static sound(Video Link). Its like this both in Line In and Bluetooth mode. These speakers were super super hot but I was told that it was normal for it to be this way. Sucks that literally I am just about two months out of the 1 year warranty :/ If anyone can help me that'd be great.
