“Since Linn was kind enough to include a headphone output, I put it through its paces. The Majik DSM’s headphone output had no problems propelling my hardest-to-drive cans, the Beyer Dynamic DT-990 600-ohm version, up to my own personal max loudness level and beyond. The volume level was only at 57 out of 80. With the highly efficient Westone ES-5 custom in-ear monitors the Majik DSM needed only a fraction of its output capabilities. The volume setting was only at 31 when I maxed out my loudness limit. There was a faint hiss from the Majik DSM’s amp when no music was playing, even when the volume was set to zero. But with medium- and lower-sensitivity headphones the Majik DSM’s headphone amp was dead quiet. Overall soundstage size, inner detail, and imaging were excellent with any ’phones I tried. And while perhaps not quite as good as the very best can-amps I’ve used, the sound was nonetheless involving and musical.”
