You are right testing conditions affect the results slightly and this can commonly be seen in listed power specs. Numbers don't fully tally when you compare power output across different loads.
That said, I doubt 6v is wrong. The dx100 did 5vrms and was known for being ridiculously powerful for a DAP so no surprises there. Also, the Ak amp actually does something like 8v balanced (not that I think it sounds good lol). So yes it's highly possible that it's 6vrms. In which case it should drive even the he1000 to pretty ear splitting levels. But here's the catch, we don't know how good it will sound doing that, it remains to be seen and I'm curious to find out too!
I understand your pov, I'm still skeptical that the 6v is a standard output. The Dx100 typically lasted 4hours on high gain, the Ak380 amp only does one thing, ie it doesn't have to process data, run a screen, etc. To have that output and balanced at that for 8 hours would be revolutionary. Without context (ie load and duration) there is a question about the reliability of the specs. Again just my opinion.
