I am new to audiophilia. What happens if you run a 300~600 ohms amp with 38 ohms headphones? Is it possible to blow the drivers? I have a pair of ath m50s and audinst mx-1. I am planning to try HD650 and/or z1000. Audinst can switch to high gain mode form 30~300 to 300~600. So, would it be fine if I keep mx1 on high gain mode and pair it with m50s? Thanks in advance. Also, any advice on upgrades and what not would be also helpful. Thanks.
