likely with decent headphone amps built in. My Marantz 2325 had a decent headphone amp as well and I am sure it would have sounded great with a GREAT set of cans like the HD-800.
But compared to anything Woo audio sells that is designed to drive headphones like the HD-800?
My bet is no contest, but I will admit that I have never experienced HD-800 driven by a forty year old Pioneer receiver.
Don't make me go down to the basement and dig out that Marantz 2325 and risk burning down the house by plugging it in for the first time in 30 years just to try it out as a headphone amp. ;-)
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
