Topic: Using the HDSPe AIO's headphone output with low impedance headphones

Hello! The HDSPe AIO' manual says that headphone output have a 30 Ohm impedance. Can I use my Beyerdynamic DT100 (16 Ohm-version) or it may cause short circuit and damaged a card?

From DT100 specifications:
Nominal SPL - 94dBSPL
Power handling capacity - 1000 mW (= 124 dB SPL)

Thanks!

Best regards
Nikolay

The phones outputs are short-circuit protected. You can use any impedance with them withput destroying something.
