“When used as a player via its single-ended headphone output the AK240 could be paired with a wide variety of headphones. Noise and low-level amplifier hiss weren’t a problem even with the most sensitive in-ears in my possession, the Westone ES-5s. On the other end of the efficiency spectrum, the AK240 had sufficient gain to drive a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-990 600-ohm headphones past satisfying levels into the spectrum of sound I call “really darn loud.” Easy-to-drive headphones such as the Oppo PM-1 sounded dynamically alive and were so well matched to the AK240’s output that I would question whether anyone really needs to use an accessory headphone amplifier with the AK240, at least with the vast majority of headphones”
