Another test (I hope I'm not hogging this thread now?) I paralleled my Sony h/ps (70 ohm) with the HD650 (300ohm) for a load of 56ohm & there is the beginnings of some audible distortion being heard. So AKG701 (32ohm) would not be happy, I guess.
There is probably some distortion below 5K but I can't hear it. I guess putting a 27K LDR vol control before the h/p would solve this.

Yep, but I can't hear any - I will be doing some more intensive tests with LDR vol control, AKG701s & an Aikido h/p amp sometime soon!
All I know at the moment is that this is an amazing sounding portable USB transport/DAC/headphone driver (all running on batteries)
