Someone's calling someone else arrogant and factually wrong.
Since it's so easy to measure the difference that amps make on headphones, and it is widely accepted to be 'factually correct', show some.
Already did:

Output impedance acts like a voltage divider which can change frequency response. The degree it does is based on the inductance of the headphone presented which means some frequencies will have higher voltage and lower voltage than others. With a high damping factor (low output impedance) the effect is minimized. With high output impedance and certain headphones it can cause large margins of error of the headphones FR (such as 5dB).
I made the point in post 24 that the error of this test is only 1dB on the HD650, so while some of us could DBT it (I've done it before), it's painful and time consuming to do. As such I said it wasn't probably a big deal and that this time luckily the heapdhones worked fairly well with the amp only showing minimal error. I then proceed to be berated and insulted by the OP who clearly doesn't finish through any post I've made regarding the potential issue (that turned out to pretty much be a non-issue) still throwing a tizzy about his doctrine, while he's made various false claims regarding me and my position multiple times.
If you read his responses you'll find out they're mostly in disconnect to what's actually been said by me and highlight what I'm getting at. He's put paragraphs of words in my mouth that I completely disagree with assuming it's my position. It's offensive to say the least, and he's done it continually.
