RE: Disagree, for the most part...

This is an additional interesting observation. When you switch the impedance setting on that amp from high to low, you are actually using less of the output transformer secondary (less copper), and increasing the step-down ratio.

I have a similar headphone amp in my armada with the same brand of output transformers, and I have actually made observations similar to yours - that I tend to prefer that the amp is set on the lowest impedance setting regardless of what I'm driving.
