True, but the concern is not what it can successfully drive to ffull
amplitude, but rather how low of a resistance it takes to actually
damage it if it _tries_ to drive it.  AKM advises there's no chance a
100R load would damage it (in fact, this is a typical resistance used
for RCA outs) - the issue was that you'd get some (probably not a lot)
distortion in the case of improper balun wiring, due to additional load
when listening to one leg of the output while the other is drawing a lot
of current. I haven't actually tried this but it makes sense... anyway,
it's only an issue if someone hooks it up in a very wrong way.
