I know this is not designed for them, but would this amp work to some extent with the Focal Elex? Planning to use with 6XX, but would like to also use with Elex.

I've used with Elex and I personally feel it's a nice pairing. Even OTL amps are generally recommended for headphones over 100 ohms some dynamic driver headphones below that work quite well.

I did have the opportunity to test an Elex with this amp. At low to moderate volume is sounded fine with the music I was using. Once I turned the volume up I could hear it begin to distort. If you are the type that likes to really crack up the volume then you would be much better off with a higher impedance headphone but I know there are others which prefer to listen a lower levels which may be perfectly happy with the pairing.

The Details say 100-600 ohms. The Elex is 80, so may not be a good fit.

The Elex should sound great a med to med/hi volume (70-85 db at the ear).

Looks like it’s switchable tween 110 and 220. See photo.

why not include a ground for turntables?

Because this is not a Phono preamp. Generally you see a grounding lug on a device with a dedicated phono input.

Hi, I have a question regarding the product: does it come with a warranty? Additionally, in the event that the warranty period expires, does Drop or xDuoo offer paid service or support? Best,
