Pls forgive a very basic question: would these drive something like these: https://tinyurl.com/yxqxndzo. Can't figure this out from looking at the specs. Yes, I see 8ohm isn't mentioned, but still ... Other inexpensive passive speaker suggestions would be appreciated. My old fireye II dac between my PC and the 4w rms speakers I have on my desk died after 11 years. So I want to replace the DAC and thought I might upgrade just a bit on my $15.63 (2007) 4W RMS powered speakers, but get passive instead.

yirgsThis will ‘work’ with just about any headphone/speaker but won’t necessarily be advantageous. The speakers you’ve linked to are very efficient and do not need huge amounts of amplification to get the best out of them. 8ohm is a very common impedance of a speaker which tells you how much power it will draw from the amp and how much power is needed to drive them effectively. The only time you really need to be carful is when driving speakers, 4-6ohm, which demand a higher load and therefore more high powered amp. I would suggest if using these speakers for laptop/computer there would be some benefit in sound quality using this amp/dac. If wanting to use them as primary tv or hifi set up they are limited. You’d be better off buying a cheap secondhand mid powered (60/80watt) receiver+passive bookshelf speaker or set of active (amp included) plug and play Edifiers.
