I can make sure I reference that in detail in my future reviews. I appreciate that insight.

All good points and I changed Mike’s wording slightly regarding power to read more fluidly. Hope that helps. Thanks!

The max power rating for the Liquid Carbon is 2.8W into 50 Ohms, the hifi-m8 V2 is 1.6W into 75 Ohms, and the Burson Conductor does 5W into 32 Ohm. There is no way to know the power output into 350 Ohms based on a single power spec at a much lower load impedance. Burson gave the only higher impedance rating I saw, 580mW into 300 Ohms.

Especially for high impedance headphones, it would probably be more useful to just say which amps work well or don’t, no out-of-context wattage numbers needed.
