You know what your phone’s headphone jack’s specs are?

I'm barely starting my headphone journey so sorry if I don't understand the terminology. This is what I've been able to find so far. It's a Samsung Galaxy s6

It allegedly has a Wolfson DAC and a Maxim MAX98505 class DG audio amplifier

Unfortunately that’s not really enough to go on. The only concrete detail a few minutes of internet sleuthing turned up suggests the headphone out is limited to less than 1Vrms, which is pretty low for these AKGs. So, probably less than ideal, but the extent to which that is the case is unclear, since there’s no good numbers for what its headphone out can do.

Yeah I couldn't find much other than an old thread from Head-fi. Guess I'll just have to wait until they show up tomorrow. Thanks!
