I can't find any reference to the 240K and like I said, I have old 240M's. I still
think you might be surprised by how yours sound with a good headphone
amp, rather than a "stereo." Yes, some of what I brought up is opinion, but
much is fact. My point is that to recommend someone "stay away from the
AKG's" based on a possibly flawed assessment is somewhat ludicrous. To
answer the original poster: the Digi 001 seems to have adequate drive for the
240M's and the combination sounds good and relatively accurate to me. Also,
when I said "relatively low impedance," that should have been "relatively high
impedance." Perhaps 50 ohm and/or new M's (if that's what you have) sound
different than my old ones. Notice that one person said they were too bright
and another too dull - go figger...
