would the sound blaster x7 push argon mk3?

dc123

 

I watched the video that was on the linus youtube channel about what amp can run what headphones but im going to be 100% truthful im a bit of simpleton when it comes to dac's and amp's, it seems like alot of maths and i failed that in school. According to a review of the x7 on a head-fi review (i cant find the output on the creative site) the amp can out put at 1200mW at 32 ohms and the voltage out put is  2.1 Vrms at low gain and 6.6 Vrms at high gain.

 

For the argons i looked at the t50rp mk3 on the fostex website (im pretty sure the argons are just a modded version of these) they had an impedance of 50 ohms and a sensitvity of 92dB @ 1kHz, 1mW. i then put this into the power calculator that was found on the video at painful levels it said that it needs 631mW, 5.62 volts and 112.4mA. so does this mean if i put the sound blaster on high gain i would be able to run the argons? or have i completely misunderstood what MW @x ohms means.

thanks for any help in advance.
