Is it bad for the soundcard to have the line out going directly into 32ohm headphones? If it matters, they're Sennheiser HD485s.

Thanks.

No, not bad... Those headphones don't present a huge load. You may find that the sound quality is improved with an external amp, even if it's just a CMoy.

So for 32 Ohm ... no Amps are required rite?
Me using HD205..

Was gonna do some Internet Radio shows...and gotta know what is my audience hearing ..so really accurate.

No amps are required, but it will still sound at least a little better if you have one. Line outputs aren't really meant to drive headphones, but for your purpose it's not such a big deal.
