Headphones

The “amplifier requirement for a regular consumer” is dramatically overblown in general, but yes it’s a very solid headphone jack.

The way i see it, good in build audio solution increases the ammount of money you need to spend to get better external solution.

That ammount of money depends on what headphones you have, how many and how expensive they are.

Regarding your title, it's not high impedance output - no one wants high impedance output as output impedance should be as low as possible, close to zero ideally.

It's just output that can increase the voltage to power less sensitive and high impedance headphones.

That's all, it's just more power basically, it doesn't directly make it better, even though typically Apple's audio outputs are good quality.

Sounds good. Let me know. Thanks so much! I'll keep an eye on the Qudelix as well! It's so hard to get it on discount here as well because it's so popular because of the PEQ

The main issue is that they output a lot less for low impedance headphones so if they aren’t sensitive enough they may not be driven correctly. In theory at least. That being said I don’t feel I’m missing much driving the Arya organic. I have a dac/amp coming still and I’ll report in case I see noticeable differences.
