[QUOTE="Doge, post: 880518, member: 15439"] The R2R is a lovely unit :cleansound: A sane person doesn't go to into a coffee shop and buy every coffee they have... it's the same with electrical impedance. Power (amount) is not quality. Either there is or isn't enough power to stay below audible distortion at a given volume. OTL wasn't designed for high impedance cans, it was designed to be OTL; taking the (lack of) quality of the power output out of the equation. High output impedance is a side effect which changes the Qes and alters the frequency response, a high impedance driver just happens to have a higher tolerance for what is arguably an undesirable effect. (Schiit put a lot of effort into trying to get an OTL to drive low-z cans) [/QUOTE]
