They're not. Topping usually has OPA1612 stages as per the DAC manufacturer datasheets. They can achieve those output impedances for line drive...
This has happened before and will happen again until the community strikes back.
The Massdrop HD6XX is a steal. But after the HD800 it went downhill. Maybe some decent IEM releases over the years but that's it.
Hey, if it works for you, there's nothing more to add! I've wrangled with 10AWG snakes and they were a bitch to terminate. Ended up soldering them...

Better SINAD numbers if measured at full blast.
BA's are so sensitive that they need no power at all. And there's no real back EMF to take care of. Too bad that they're very sensitive to...
