Hi all,

I want to buy a headphone for my Ventus EZ.
Will this headphone Amp be suitable for driving Electrostat or planar “Orthodynamic” headphones?

Thx,

Jordo

To reply to myself and for future refference;

I do not think that Plannars, or Orthodynamic headphones, are suitable for the Ventus EZ.
I have tested the Hifiman HE-500. According to the specs they need a 2-3 Watt amp.
The Ventus EZ delivers a 3,6 Watt by 15VDC (250mA). This is 20% more than required but the sound seems to deform when higher volume levels are desired.
