I have a MOTU M2. Some notes on the questions asked.
Output volume as a DAC. When installed as a new device windows often sets the volume to 50% or thereabouts, so if the volume is unexpectedly low check this first. Certainly playing through my desktop Iloud micro-monitors volume is not an issue.
I have used the headphone amp with Alessandros MS1, Ultrasone 900 Pro and Fostex TH 600, all low impedance and this gives me more volume than I can cope with i.e. it starts hurting.
The front panel inputs are intended for balanced mono, and also support 48v phantom power for microphones. I have used TRS to RCA converters and these work as mono inputs if required. This enables me to use the device for running room eq tests and also for testing equipment, (within the input limits of the ADC).
