Because of very low output impedance of <1Ω and noise of about 0.0008% @ 1KHz/0dBu Dynalo worked well with both higher impedance headphones and low impedance ones.

Main comparison of here is made with the RME ADI-2 DAC and very short check against Massdrop x THX AAA 789.

When using the ZMF Aeolus the sound was punchier on the Dynalo, in the song “Daft Punk – Lose yourself To Dance” the RME ADI-2 DAC there’s a clearly audible distortion in the bass, this wasn’t the case with the Dynalo, it played the whole song without any issues.

Hifiman Arya felt smoother and more mellow on the Dynalo. It was more musical and less fatiguing especially for badly recorded music.

Audio Technica ATH-ADX5000 was probably the best matching for the Dyanlo, normally it can sound slightly unnatural or dry but paired with this amplifier made it by far more musical with a touch of added warmth. All this while keeping excellent dynamic range and detail.

In general this amplifier had a slightly warm and musical presentation, I wouldn’t call it very colored but it was enough to be noticeable especially compared to something like the THX AAA 789.
