RE: Head Amp--Yes or no?

The Alpha Dogs have a decent enough sensitivity (97dB@1mW) and this is coupled with a low impedence of 50 ohms. So a portable source has a good chance of driving them. in fact this is confirmed by the review in 6 Moons where the reviewer says that they are loud enough driven with an AK100.

If you did decide that you needed an amplifier then you won't want a mains powered one like the Schiit for your dialysis sessions. You need to look at portable headphone amps such as those from HeadRoom and elsewhere.

I hope that you like the cans. Let me/us know how you get on as you have whetted my interest in buying a pair.
