This should be known by now. If you look up the thread you are warned again and again.

No. The new generation planars like the Takstar HF580 don't need more than 30 mW. Read more about it on the HeadFi forum. The HF580 is a steal for less than 200€ on AliExpress. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/takstar-hf-580-planar-headphones.904483/post-15556007

The unbalanced D version is coming. The designer can't get all the info he needs because CL only provides it to customers that buy a lot of chips.

The E1DA dongle will but you need a symmetrical cable. It needs a lot of power and runs really hot.

Nope. The Tempotec and Hidizs use the Cirrus CS42L42. Don't need glasses as I'm shortsighted. https://www.cirrus.com/products/cs42l42 The output on AliExpress is stated optimistic. The CL sheet states only 35 mW into 30 Ohm.

Sorry, 2x35 mW into 30 Ohm, see here: https://www.cirrus.com/products/cs42l42/

How comes most people agree that some brands like FiiO have a signature sound, a bit warmish in the case of FiiO for example of which I own a few? It must be found exclusively in the built-in amps then? But many swear it's the DAC when it comes to DACs without extra OPAs. I'm a noob with small...

30mW is the chip manufacturer's statement on the product page measured @30Ohm. With lower impedance cans this value will be higher.
