I sent an inquiry using the contact form "Contact Us" on the website a month and a half ago or so. Should I try a private message this time?

Yes, private messages through the forum is much more effective.

Hey there, complete newbie. I'm planning on snagging the Motu M6, but was unsure of the headphone output impedance and was wondering if I can ship it to you guys for review. Not sure if anyone else has already made a offer.

Kind regards.

A quick and dirty test is loading it with different resistors to get one half voltage output when loaded vs unloaded.

Welcome to ASR!

Amir has tested the Motu M4. Its HP amp output impedance is <1 ohm. While it was not an M6, but it should give an indication. The problem usually with audio interface HP output is that they are often highly anemic.

Isn't there a chance they updated their amps with the M6? I heard they kinda did that with the M2 and M4 around 2021 with their DAC and ADC converters. Pure speculation though.

Sure, anythings possible.
If still interested, sent a PM to Amir to discuss the details of having one dropshipped to him
for review testing.
