Huh. I never read that article on IF. That's very interesting because most people talk more about current than voltage when it comes to planar magnetic headphones. Maybe somebody else can chime in on the subject, because I was under the impression that planars were more about current drive than voltage drive.
You should have tried current drive, unfortunately. Afik, that's the umm forté as far as the bakoon is concerned.
When i had a play with it with an lcd-x, the current drive sounded a little more open and a bit faster. I'm not/was not familiar with either enough to say that for certain, and i only tried the voltage out very briefly. However, i did notice a difference and preferred the current out. Theory also agrees with my observation (that one should be more suitable, not necessary that there should be the differences i heard) which is a rare comfort.
P.s. With my hd800 i only used the voltage out, which sounded fine. The ss is a little small (relatively speaking for hd800's) but did not see what current out could have done.
