I'm interested in hearing from anyone currently using 600 Ohm Beyerdynamic DT 880s with a NuForce Icon HDP.
 
I have the Beyer DT150 @ 250 ohms & they work great with the HDP.
 
I now want to purchase the DT 880.  I feel that the 600 ohm version is the best impedance choice,  but may have to go with the 250 ohms instead with this amp setup.
 
Here's the specs on the Icon HDP.  Is it sufficient?  Any Technical saavy head-fiers, kindly weigh in on breaking down these specs:
 
Headphone power spec:
  1. 288mW rms @ 30 Ohm
  2. 210mW rms @ 120 Ohm
  3. 152mW rms @ 300 Ohm
  4. 123mW rms @ 500 Ohm
  5. 96mW rms @ 600 Ohm
  6. 59mW rms @ 1200 Ohm
  7. 43mW rms @ 1700 Ohm
  8. 35mW rms @ 2000 Ohm
 
(I'm also posting this in a DT880 thread)
 
Thanks!
