In most pro applications power is absolutely the main quality metric. (Ie. SINAD, FR etc all go out the window if you're clipping...)
For headphones? Like most people here, I don't quite get this product.
BUT it must have use cases. I assume being basically a speaker amp this will drive 8 ohms on the HP outputs? Such that, where the same mix is sent to a number of people (E.g. large orchestra sections, crowds, choir etc) you could parallel lots off this. Doesn't seem like that's it's intended use though, given the form factor and connectivity.
In terms of recommendation, yes of course, it'll sound OK and it's very powerful, so it's recommended if that's your requirement. Amir always quantifies his recommendations.
The one thing that surprises me is that form factor. Anything that isn't 19" isn't really pro, is it!? At least for this kind of thing. I always think; what would an Amazon data center look like if they used laptops with a bunch of USB SSDs hanging off them, instead of servers? That's basically what your studio or touring rig will look like if you start buying too much stuff that could go in the rack, but doesn't... especially with external power bricks!
