the burson conductor v2+ is also a powerful head amp. i always ensure that the volume knob is set to zero before i plug the utopia or any other headphone into the headphone jack and gradually increase the volume. i turn the volume knob back to zero before unplugging the headphone. it's just common sense really.Yes, as I was looking the user guide of the Violectric V550, this amp can deliver a lot of power, so for sure if you don't pay attention where is your volume knob you could damage your headphones, but this could happen with average headphone amps too. The power applied to your headphone is controlled by the volume, or "volume attenuator", and the gain settings ("headphone amp pre-gain" in the back of your V550), so you should not go wrong by putting your volume at 0, plug your Utopias and turn then volume up slowly. For the pre-gain settings, you could use for example, such a gain that give your listening level around 12 o'clock in the volume knob.
