Direct-coupled, medium output: More than enough power to 

successfully drive a wide range of today’s efficient headphones. 

When used as a line-level device (volume set to 100%), DF 

Black’s 1.2 volts provide enough power to drive all preamplifier, 

integrated amplifier, or receiver inputs.

Direct-coupled, high output: Enough power to easily drive the 

widest range of headphones. When used as a line-level device 

(volume set to 100%), DF Red’s 2.1 volts provide enough power to 

drive all preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or receiver inputs.
