[size=10pt]Hmm interesting so how/why does everyone know/say this is a powerful amp and can power most full size cans? Just by the reviews and experience?[/size]

The Arrow is certainly the most versatile amp I've ever tried, no matter if portable or stationary. No other one can drive the HD650 to full quality, and at the same time drive ultra-sensitive multi-armature IEMs like the UE11, SE530, SM3 without any hiss or frequency response issues. The Arrow sure puts quite a lot of the competition to shame...
[size=10pt]Wow, analysis paralysis is an actual thing (It’s in Wikipedia). I think you are right, I tend to analysis/over-analysis like a mother-fo, well I think it is all part of being an audiophile. Thanks for everyone’s help and putting up with my “analysis paralysis”, I think before anything else comes up I should just go ahead and hit the purchase button! Thanks again! (Thanks Mediaogre f[size=10pt]or diagnosing me, I will see about getting help)[/size][/size]
I'm hooking up my SM3 to the Arrow amp gen 2 from my Cowon J3's HO but i dont hear any major improvements.
Is this normal?

Cowon's headphone outputs are just fine. They might display some bass roll-off with low impedance phones in graphs, but I don't really hear it. They have very low output impedance, so multi-armature crossovers don't mess up with a Cowon. Line-outs are totally overrated.
In what way are Line-outs overrated? I can plug in my headphones from HO and swap to LO and hear improvement. Is this one of those 'carrying around an amp is not worth the improvement' arguments? It makes no sense to me to listen to an inferior sounding output when a better one is right next to it. Then again, if you have to use a Sansa I can sympathize.
