Essentially my idea is that none of us listen to these devices without attaching headphones to them, so it seems to make most sense to test them out in as close to a real world situation as possible.
If i was to measure output power, then yes, I think your method would be best. But that won't tell me anything regarding the differences in their inherent sonic characters or the changes they bring about to headphone
Please don't take my comments as negative - that's not my intent.
I applaud your efforts here.
But, a key problem with your method here is that you are the measurement tool.
If you truly wish to compare the two sources, then measure their output and analyze that.
e.g. level match both devices on a 1 kHz (or whatever) tone. Play a song (or several!) through each and record the output.
Subtract the results from each other to observe the differences.
