If he can wait then wait and get a SMSL. I dunno man, the PS4 is like a grey area for me. If he gets a A3, then he cannot connect a mic to the controller, so E10k it is?

Mic is not a problem for him, the blue yeti works fine on usb for ps4, hes been using it for some time now.

Now is just the amp for dt990 lol. For the time being, is e10k or smsl one (im still persuading him to get these if he can wait).

Well that is the problem since availability of these products are rare. Audiophiles are SUPER DUPER niche market here lol

well same here, except really really high end, you can get plenty of that here in Denmark. I have to buy a lot of the more "budget" things I want from Germany.

I guess Fiio would be okay, can he get audioquest DragonFly? That would also be an option

The K1 will likely be just as underpowered as the PS4 at such a high impedance. The E10K would be better but is probably only around 25mW@300Ohm.

 

Looking at smsl, the sAp-8 look like a good solution. It's only an amp so connection via 3.5mm to Phono, but has a strong output at 160mW@300Ohm, which is probably a good range to be in, not so powerful that it has to be run at 5% volume but not needing to be run at 95%.

 

I've used 600 ohm nominal 1000 ohm peak headphones from E10. E10K is more powerful.

 

STOP OVERTHINKING IMPEDANCE, PEOPLE.
