Don't know in this helps, but I have the XP-17's distant ancestor, the XOno, and I listen at 1000 Ohms with the Hana ML. I've tried many settings from 50 Ohms to wide open, and 1000 was hands down the best, for me.

Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question
Guys anyone here has any experience with the Pass XP-17 settings for Hana ML?
I just switched form Pass XP-15 to 17 and its totally different animal.
Just to compare them both with the gain set at 66db and loading 333ohm they act completely different, while 15 gets maximum bottom and fantastic detail 17 sounds great at the top and the midrange but bottom needs improvement. Would anyone run 47K ohm?
