was looking into the one m8 to hold me over until WP either steps up or I move to another os, but I wanted to know if the following differences in specs were true regarding the Headphone output.
I don't necessarily know exactly how the difference in numbers translates to the sound quality, or even if its noticeable, but I do know that I would like to power some hungry headphones like Sennheiser Over Ear models and Beyerdynamic/Audio Technica, and the iPhone 6 Plus pairs with them nicely.
But seeing this post regarding a dropped voltage for the One M8 on Windows Phone makes me question is possible. Of course I will hear the music but I would rather be able to enjoy the headphone without using an amplifier.
Is the One M8 For windows capable with the built in DAC?
Feature..........................?........M8 Android..............................M8 WP
60fps video??????????yes?????.????.no
Headphones output power (Volts)?.1.2?????????.0.7
Loudspeaker loudness (dB)????75????.?????.72
