Why is the output impedance so high (10ohm) on a fairly expensive product?

According to their website it's 2 ohms.

Got the D1 and run it with AKG K712 Pro.
First impressions are not so good. Source is my old MacBook Pro and i use Fidelia as a sound source.
 
The D1 has no bass...and the treble is a kind of horrible. In comparison the MacBook Pro is nearly equal.
D1 is a bit louder, but the treble are bad and harsh...it sounds mostly artificially.
 
Does this D1 has to burn in???
And if right how long?
 
And maybe  i need something which is really better.
Apple did apparently a good job..
 
Thx for help

EDIT. 
 
I bought a second pair of K712 and now they're working great with the D1. Apparently my first pair of K712 was defective.

How's AudioEngine D1 compared to Schiit Modi 2 Uber or Multibit?
 
I'm using AudioEngine A5+ on an onboard Asus Z97-A (Realtek ALC892) motherboard. Playing most of the time at 320kbps on Spotify. Will I hear a sonic difference if I get a DAC? Btw, I don't plan on using headphones.

Do you guys leave your D1 turned on? Know of any problems doing this? For some reason if I turn off my D1 while music is playing and turn it back on, I have to restart whatever application is playing music, whether it's iTunes, Spotify, etc.. It won't start playing again until the app is restarted as if it's stuck in pause mode.

I have the D1 and I'm wondering about headphone splitters. My wife and I both have Sennheiser momentum headphones and want to both listen to the D1. Is there any problem with just adding a splitter to the main output jack? I've searched Google lots on this.. still can't find the answer. Thanks!

Can he sample rate be changed or it remains that of the source, if it's in the supported range of the DAC?
