Hello everyone,

I have been searching and couldn't find any definitive answer whether mainline works with HE-6. Judging by tech specs it probably doesn't put enough power but did anyone actually try it?

Also on the mainline page it's a bit misleading:

Killer with HD800s, as well as Audeze and HiFiMAN

If it doesn't work with HE-6 there should probably be a remark about it.

Thanks,
Jim

450mW will drive the HE-6 to uncomfortably loud listening levels.

The Mainline will put out more than 446mW into 50 Ohms.
