Analytical table with recommendation for using headphones with different types of amplifiers based on the measured characteristics

The RAA developed a table of recommendations on the compatibility of headphones with sources like smartphones, players, tablets, sound cards and AMPs based on the measured characteristics.

The table shows the most common variations of sound sources and the scope of use of headphones.

The compatibility rating is similar to car analysis based on its ground clearance - on which road the car will move optimal without evaluating the class of the car.

Detailed description of the table

For example when choosing a video card, many people do not understand the set of tables with the final data of the test packages. How to understand the relative difference in these figures? In most cases, the unprepared reader is satisfied with only the textual evaluation of the author, without delving into the figures. When the choice of a product is done thoroughly, then the reader gradually deepens into complex tables, mastering information from simple to complex. We made two separate reports: "simple" and "complex". A simple report with explanatory comments will allow you to self-study to gradually understand and professional report.
