I want one to push DENON AH-D5000, but it is not exactly easy to push. Which iBasso has the gut power to do it? By the way, do we have feature comparison chart for them?
Which iBasso can push DENON AH-D5000?

I got the D10 here with a D2000 (the same as D5000, but without the wood) and there certainly are improvements.
The highs are more profound, the bass extend way lower, sound better and overall soundstage improves greatly.
And the sound is clearer and cleaner. In short, I love it.

how is it not easy to "push"? These things are rated at 25 ohms...

The Denons are famous to be not as efficient as they appear.

Absolutely true. The D10 is outfitted with a top kit and I have to turn it to 9 'o clock when used as a DAC on Vista. All that with gain set to high.

What the heck is a 'top kit'?

My ibasso D2 Boa does a perfect job with the DENON AH-D5000.

Same, my iBasso D2 does a fine job with my D2000. Will let you know how it does with the D7000 after I get the 1/4 to 1/8 adapter.
It really changed things after adding the amp, soundstage greatly improved, more details, tighter more defined bass, was really enjoyable after the amp.

When you roll op-amps, there are some sets of op-amps that are considered to give the best sound. These would be called top kits.

There is a difference between sensitivity and impedance. Impedance and sensitivity generally correlate, but they don't always. For example, the K701 is relatively low impedance (60 ohms I think) but very hard to drive.
In the case of the Denons I think they're relatively easy to drive (portable amp is good enough but not perfect).
