Headphone impedance on the 2408mk3

Post by JZilla »

Hey folks, I haven't been able to find this info elsewhere, so thought I'd check here. Does anyone know what the output impedance on the headphone jack of the 2408mk3 is? A while back I picked up a pair of 250 ohm Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro headphones to replace my old worn out cans, and while comfortable, don't sound nearly as good as they did in the store. Impedance never crossed my mind until tonight, so thought I'd see if that might be the issue before replacing the phones.

Thanks!

It drives Sony 32 ohm phones fine, so those should be no problem. I don't know a spec.
