    Mackie ONYX 820i series mixer/interface good as a headphone amp for monitoring?

    I'm wondering if this mixer/firewire interface would be good enough without a headphone amp with Sennheiser HD600 and AKG 240S headphones. Apparently it can drive any headphones at respectable levels, but what about the sound quality? It's only 500$. Here's the manual...
