Topic: Power into 8 ohms

I'm planning on purchasing the ADI-2 DAC and am wondering how much power the headphone amp is able to provide at 8 ohms. I'm not sure how to interpret the various specs given to derive this. Is it capable of producing more than 1W at 8 ohms?

Re: Power into 8 ohms

Well, the current limit is 260 mA so into 8 ohms that is 0.54 Watts (P = I^2 x R).

(PS. Also shown in the graph on page 57 of the manual.)

Thanks for letting me know. I hadn't seen that graph.
