I too have v2 with 10 ohm output impedance. After comparing few cans including Audio-Technica 35 ohm cans and Tin T2 16 ohm iem on DX3 with another 1 ohm output impedance amp, I can't hear any difference between the 2 amps. I wouldn't worry about 10 ohm output impedance especially if using with headphone.Given my Audio Techica headphones have an impedance of 48 ohms I'm now doubting the suitability of this amp to drive them correctly
Reference Audio Analyzer site have plenty of headphones measurements and one of the test is when using different output impedance amp. This is for MSR7, 35 ohm headphone:
The difference in db were too small to be noticeable.
Other headphones:
Sennheiser HD 600, 300 ohm
Beyerdynamic DT 990, 600 ohm
Even for iem, not all are susceptible to 10 ohm output impedance. KZ models seems to be more susceptible than Tin models. Maybe due to BA driver.
KZ ZST, 10 ohm
Tin T2, 16 ohm
