I think the V35 is basically the same as the V30 except it has more RAM and a faster processor?
I have the V35. I measured the Output Impedance of mine at 0.94 ohms. This was with a 23 ohm planar magnetic headphone attached, so I guess that'd be low gain mode. The options and audio menus all look the same as what I've seen with the V30, with options for the quad DAC, etc. I don't know about the G7 because I'm on AT&T and didn't really have the choice. It sounds pretty good to me, but I don't have any really low impedance/high sensitivity IEM's to test for hiss with.
It can drive said 23 ohm planar to over 100 dB easily in low gain (using my calibrated UMIK-1 measurement mic on a flat plate coupler), so I have no need to get more power out of the headphone amp, considering I try not to listen over 90 dB (just measured it playing 102 dB with Ether Flow Open on a 50hz test tone from my V35).
I just tested it on an HD650 and it is putting out 110 dB at 50hz on my measurement rig. Safe to say it can get any headphone loud enough to damage your hearing, outside of a few really inefficient ones like maybe an HE-6.
