Even if the numbers don’t actually suggest it, planar drivers always thank you when they are operated with a higher power output.
And yes, these can be driven with many mobile DACs, dongles, DAPs or bluetooth solutions.
But they only sound really structured with a certain power output, especially in the bass range.
That’s why I bite the bullet and actually always use the:
on the go.
It’s vor shure not the most convenient solution, but it’s definitely the “most sonorous” mobile option.
The Questyle M15
has a lot to offer in terms of sound, but with performance-hungry headphones, I have seen an error message on the iPhone from time to time that the energy consumption was too high.
I actually believe that the GoBar from ifi is indeed a good solution, since the energy output values given sound quite promising.
PS.: Interestingly, the chord mojo 2,
which is outstanding as a mobile solution for dynamic drivers, is rather unsatisfactory in combination with planar drivers, at least for my ears, because it sounds too bloomy for me and lacks dynamics and purity with these types of headphones .
So now suck what you want out of this comment.
