Low impedance headphones are harder to drive for sources that have a low current limit and/or high output impedance. If the device was only designed to drive line inputs with kΩ range impedance, then you may also get increased distortion, or rolled off bass (if there are output capacitors that are too small for a low impedance load).
But these DAC's seems to be fine for headphones that have impedance < 32 Ohms, right?
