Can I run headphone directly from Ayre QB-9?

Hi guys. I'm still waiting for my amp to arrive. In the meantime, is it okay to run full sized cans from the Ayre QB-9 DAC directly?

You can do this with some DACs that have variable outputs controlled by the front panel volume control (e.g., Benchmark DAC-1).  I don't believe that the Ayre can do this.  So be careful because it could blow your ears off.
