The BEST way to build a GSG for headphones only?
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2012 9:11 am
First and foremost- is this a good idea? I'm hoping the overall SNR is decent enough for this application.
I know a lot of people just fashion a series resistor on the output terminals, but I was wondering if there was a better way.
I have a populated GSG board with no iron (yet). Could I simply put a pair of output transformers spec'd to my headphones and call it done?
What other changes would you make to get the best performance out of the GSG for this dedicated purpose?
My main headphones are Audeze LCD2's. Here are the specs:
• Impedance: 60 Ohms, nominal
• Maximum diaphragm excursion: 2.5mm p-p
• Efficiency: 91 dB/1mW
• Maximum output: 133dB, 15W
