HD681 with Ipod Nano 2gen. Output impedance?

Does anyone know the output impedance of the 2nd Gen Ipod Nano?

I am looking to get a friend the HD681 headphones but their impedance is a mere 32 ohms which means that if the 2nd gen nano has a high output impedance, and I expect it does, then the audio will be affected.

I've tried searching on the web to no avail.

According to this website here and the apple website, the impedance of the ibuds is 32 ohms. There is no given output impedance for the 2nd gen nano. So probably the HD 681 will sound nice with the nano but from personal experience it will work better with an amp. Even a cheap amp like the e5/e6 will do.

Thanks for that attempt. I think I probably posted in the wrong forum.
