Stax headphone amp with non-Stax headphones.

If i rewire headphones for the balanced Stax connector, will I be able to use Stax headphone amp?

Every amp is designed for a specific load(impedance). I would doubt that impedance of electrostatic headphones is in the single digits(aka ideal for iPod)
