Using headphone output from an intergrated amp

I am in a phase of being obssessed with headphones. My simple question is : Do I need to have the intergrated amp connected to a speakers while I am using the headphone output?

I have read somewhere that " never turn the amp volume up without being connect to a load, ie. speakers ".

I prefer not to have any speakers to connect to my intergrated amp but the headphone to the headphone output.

Thank you,guys. Mateored's answer leads me to another question I have that's dedicated HP amp VS intergrated amp HP section.

I have the modest Pioneer Elite A 35R and the Rotel RA 1062 and so far I am okay with the SQ. My HP are the Senn. HD280 pro, Audio Tech. ATH A700 and both are closed HP. I will be receiving the Senn HD 595 from Amazon in a couple days. The HD 650 is much better as I read but I want to take time to test the water.

Here we go again, I just bought the A25r. I wonder if the time to "move it" again at a loss for tne dedicated HP amp.

I have been checking around and the little Dot MK IV has a good review. Just curious that how does the LD tube headphone against the MF V Can as the Sterephile guy loves the MF V can so much?
