Topic: ADI-2 DAC impedance matching

Hello,

I cannot find any info about this in manual or product page, what is the lowest amplifier input impedance I can use with ADI-2 DAC (XLR outputs)?
As far as I understand too low of impedance of amplifier in this scenario can increase noise.
Is there any limit to how low input impedance can go without worsening characteristics of its output?

Re: ADI-2 DAC impedance matching

Load (input impedance of connected amps) should be 600 Ohm or higher,. As that is always the case no one ever mentions such a spec.

I'm Using Beyerdynamic T1 and it has no problem with ADI-2 PRO. actually better DAC quality than other few thousands AMP
