is the mk vi+ more powerful than the 337se for the hd600's?  

Yes and the mk VI+ uses four output 6080/6AS7 tubes not two and has a [size=medium]maximum[/size]
 of 5 watts into 120 ohms. The mk VI6+ also is a fully balanced amp and can drive active speakers as well.

I was quoting was rated power which I already know is not RMS. Second the Little Dot VI+ is both a OTL and OCL design. Far different from the DarkVoice design

0.85w at 300ohms   =(

The VI+ is not designed for high Z headphones. That's why David made the LD MK VIII SE with a similar design topology and same form factor design but designed to drive high Z headphones i.e. Sennheiser HD580/600/650/800 etc and the 600ohm Beyers. The VI+ is good for power hungry headphones akin K1k and orthos.

[size=11pt]Without knowing what voltage level is being used at the inputs we cannot be sure if David is using a 1v reference or the max level before clipping. On The Little Dot web site it still does not give details on how he did the measurements. You will have a bit more voltage swing at the front balanced outs as compared to using the single ended  1/4 output on the back. I have headphones that can be single ended or in balanced by switching out the headphone cable. The balanced mode is stronger. In have not measured mine since it works and I am not trying a find a problem in the haystack. I do know that my Little Dot VI+ likes voltage at the inputs and performs better with DAC's that are using balanced pro level output at +4dBu instead of -10dBu or roughly 3.4 v peak to peak instead of .9v peak to peak for consumer audio level. Without knowing for sure how the measurements are done especially for the inputs cannot really be sure how accurate the manufacture specs are. Bottom line I enjoy mine. [/size]

i used mine from grado to senn hd-650 and hd-800

What about K702 65th anniversaries which have an impedance of impedance62 ohms and max. input power 200 mW.  Would these headphones be safe with this amp?

This Headphones amplifier don't have a problems with the K701/702 etc..
This amp drive low and high impedance without problems ... excluding the HE6.
 
P.s: sorry for my english

The amp can drive the HE-6 no problems.

And how's the snergy with the HD800? It is a good amp for the hd800, along the same league as a wa2?
 
Your english is good, no need to apologise.

Better than WA2.

i liked this amplifier with the hd-800, especially with jazz

Does it still offer the pinpoint 3d imaging with the HD800 and also make them sound more smoother/warmer?

Totally agree. It is the best amp I heard so far with the HE-6, and  I tried quite a few, including vintage receiver, T-amp,  EF-6 and Shiit Mjonir.
