Hi all,
I've posted this thread before in the Headroom amp subforum but this Sponsor forum should be helpfull..
I have a question about the importance of the source combined with either of the Micro Line models.
Here's my situation: I'm getting an iPod Touch and I'm looking for advice to get the best sound possible from it, I already have the HD-650 cans and the SAA Equinox cable is on its way. I'm also getting a Qables Silvercable LOD so you know my setup.
As it is a portable player I could order the portable Micro, but when I'm on the road I won't be using an amp nor will I use the HD-650's but just some mediocre IEM's, so no real need for a battery- powered amp.
I like the design and small footprint of the Micro Line and based on some reviews of the earlier models I think I can't go wrong with HeadRoom products. So that leaves me with two options:
the 2007 Micro amp and the 2007 Ultra Micro amp.
What I was wondering is how important the source is, I think the amp will almost constantly be used with the Touch so I wonder if the OPA627 op amp and other
improvements in the Ultra will make much difference compared to the standard Micro amp with such a 'weak' source?
Normally I wouldn't doubt and get the best there is, but since the iPod's don't exceed in SQ and the source is apparently the most important object in a setup I was wondering if it would make any difference at all. I don't need much to be convinced, so you know
Thanks!

Ultra Micro overkill for iPod Touch?
Ah well, it once started with the 'crazy idea' to get the TotalAirhead, I'm sure my feelings against Head-Fi will be ambivalent once I get the microstack. VERY curious for the result,
