The power switch is on the rear on the magni 3, so it also isn't as convenient to turn off before unplugging headphones as other amps. But idk how big a deal this all is. Do you necessarily need to be at clipping? What if you were using 600 ohm headphones? You would have a 1000x increase in power. But I don't think people use a lot of power in general with headphones, maybe typically only 1-10mw peak.
That's my opinion. The power switch doesn't bother me -- the amp is considerably smaller than my hand, so reaching the back is as easy as reaching the front -- but actual music is going to behave differently than a continuous tone driven to clipping. And, as I mentioned above, other amp designs go wonky even with decent protections, if abused.
