Actually it is. It does a rather fine job with it. It can drive my HD600s great. I just happen to have a better setup with my modded Maverick D1 / Hitachi HMA6500 now, so I don't really have a use for this, though its sound is certainly no slouch. Online its often reviewed very highly for its SQ considering what it is. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a starter headphone amp / multichannel solution looking for a bargain. sp70.
EDIT: I just double checked. I had my Pioneer transport -> coaxial -> the receiver. Also, I found that 50% was far more than enough volume, it really cranks, I wouldn't even go over that.
