can drive headphones with a higher impedance.
"ACG": The basic operating method is the same as Balanced (mode), but uses technology
to even more forcefully fix grounding standards, so you can enjoy a sound quality with
improved clarity and stability than Balanced (mode). Output volume is the same as the
