I'm curious how something like the headphone amps or what you mentioned compares to the headphone outputs on a high-end audio interface, e.g. the RME Fireface line or similar recording products.
- nullwasamistake 7y agoThere's people that have done some independent testing of audio outputs. The quality varies widely so paying a lot is one way to make sure you have good outputs. A lot of phones have notoriously weak/bad audio jacks. Some built in motherboard audio outputs suck as well. However, in general, any dedicated audio card, even the cheapest soundblaster will have audio outputs just as good as extremely expensive audiophile stuff. Maybe not as much power output, but that only matters with high ohm headphones. Ditto with any Apple products, they've been known to have extremely high quality Cirrus Logic audio chips for a long time
- atoav 7y agoI have a Fireface and never had only the slightest issue with the headphone outputs. As somebody who understands quite a bit about analog circuits and has seen Firefaces from the inside I would definitly trust RME on that one, this thing is beautifully engineered
