Hey Head-fi, I'm pretty new to high end quality audio so my questions may seem silly but I hope I can get some feedback from you guys.
My understanding is that most IEMs do not require an amp and have subtle improvements if any when amped. I do not own any headphones so I'm only curious to how amps can have an effect on IEMs. More specifically, I recently received a pair of JVC FX700 as a gift (what an AWESOME gift) and was wondering if an amp would bring even more out of the fx700? I also have a MD Tribute and Westone 3.
I have some extra cash to burn (~$100 USD) and thought that maybe I should try out some portable amps that could potentially improve the SQ even a bit. Suggestions?
I use an iPod with lossless files so I would need a LOD if I were to get a portable amp right? How important is the quality of the LOD? Will a high grade cable on those make a significant different in the sound?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
