I just got the Voyager portable headphone amplifier and quite happy with it;
 
Mostly use with PC & Ipod for MP3s; Wanted to upgrade my headphones to Senn HD 650s and wanted to make sure the above amplifier can drive the HD 650s?
 
Also, will it drive the Senn HD 600s?

With a big enough input signal like a CD player it will drive the HD600/650 but maybe not quite to eardrum bursting levels. The low output of some portables coupled with the relatively low gain of the Voyager means that high impedance phones like the HD600/650 don't get enough drive.
That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Graham, is that why my Arcam DiVA CD73 w/ an output of about 2 Vrms drives the amp to much louder levels than my iModded iPod w/ an output of about 1 Vrms? Thanks.

To keep my answer brief: Yes.
