A Full Review: Ray Samuels Audio - The Protector - Page 6

Listening to Jackson Browne's new CD, "Love is Strange", in the lossy format from a web site and using the balanced Protector out of my Mac I am amazed at how good the sound is. Excellent depth, dynamics and imaging and this is from a lossy format on the web. Great stuff!

Sorry if it's already in this thread, but I didn't have engough time to read it :p

I'm planning to buy the RSA protector amp. I want to use it with my Ipod touch (i have the DT 770 Beyerdynamic headphones).

My question is: will it sound better if i use the amp with my headphone and ipod if the music is lossy? Or does it only when it is lossless?

It is not a seamless fit, but for testing it'll work.  The pins don't go all the way into the TF10 shell.

While lossless files will prove the best ultimate sound quality, my experience has been that my lossy file listening has improved with every upgrade I ever invested in.  I don't know why the Protector would be any different.

 

 

OK, thanks, now i know it's worthwhile buying it! ;)
