Correct, and thats why its all a bad trade off if you have to use 50 Ohms termination. Either more heat or more PN, and more circuitry.
So driving 50 Ohms inputs is not optimal here, 1M inputs are much better for this purpose. I had discussed the advantages of CMOS open-ended termination some months ago here in detail..
