I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still

I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive

I’m betting that it can drive 250Ω headphones. Verifying.

Impedance and audio quality are not intrinsically linked.

There are good headphones that can work with a headphone jack.

Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
