Hey everyone,
I am planning on buying the BeyerDynamic DT 770 Pro (80 or 250 Ohm), and I was wondering if my motherboard's onboard audio chip can support these headphones with such a high impedence.
My motherboard is the Gigabyte Z170x-Gaming 3, and according to its user manual , it has really great audio specs.
For example, it has the Realtek® ALC1150 codec, as well as the TI Burr Brown® OPA2134 operational amplifier, which according to this data sheet, can output upto 600 Ohm.
According to these specs, will my computer be able to optimally use them?
Also, it has a feature called gain boost, which apparently helps make high impedence headphones run better. Is this true?
Thanks.
