Thanks for the effort.
After reading the review, I went back and tried my AKG 702 with the Studio. I had tried them briefly upon first arrival of the Studio but had not gone back. Warp08 is right about the Studio being able to power full size headphones. The 702's sounded great.
I'm not so sure about the low impedance earphones. I also tried my Koss KSC75 with the Studio shortly after listening the same music (classical, piano concerto) with 702's. The KSC75 did not have any noticeable hiss ( and I will be the first to admit that hiss is rarely ever a bugaboo with me ). While the sound quality wasn't the same, it wasn't that far off either. Also, with the 702's I had to use volume at 30 or 31, and with the KSC75, reduce it only a couple of notches. It could be, as noted in the review, that our versions were different.
