what is the adverse sound using 32 ohm headphone with Bottlehead Crack amp?

23.121.124.120

I have NAD Viso HP50 and am considering the Crack amp but it is supposed to be used with high impedance headphones. Is 32 ohm too low? If so what would change in the sound?

thanks

Supposed to be to low, the issue would be drive (control of the driver, iE transients, speed etc...) However with that said It will depend on your preferences, you may find it has plenty of power

Schiit Valhalla was not suggested for use with planers 38ohms for the same reasons but I found it sounded great with plenty of volume & drive

- thank you so much for a very informative reply. I was thinking it was like driving a speaker out of the 4 or 8 - PhilJ 13:13:27 09/26/15 (0)
  ohm tap on a power amplifier where the 4 is a bit tighter and the 8 sounds fuller.
  
  Someday I will learn this stuff :^)
