IMO the HO of X5 is already very capable.
You pretty much always want to use line out with an amp. You are turning off the X5 amp and using the external amp you purchased. You should be getting clearer (less distorted) sound that way. Volume should be all the way up out of the LO, and then the amp would be your control point.
I'm upping a video I'll put in this post.
The line out is better than headphone out with the e12
X5 (headphone out) to e12 input then e12 headphone out to cans
v.s.
X5 (line out) to e12 input then e12 headphone out to cans <<<<<winner...clearly...why??
of note is
Between 1:50 and 1:52 an event takes place. I dunno what it was but it allowed me to do what i couldn't do with headphone out.
Very odd.
Love the sound.
Would like a eq that had more range than +6dB though...please
What's a HO?
Also if u use the line out, u bypass the internal amp, but not the internal dac right?
Volume should be all the way up out of the LO what does this mean?
Clearer - less distorted sound, is this really a very noticeable thing?
At which volume levels are we talking when you can start to notice improvements?
someone posted already, turn everything down in eq, and bass up, you get a 12 db difference between bass and the rest. So not only raise the bass, but turn everything down...
also, it is normal that you will love line out feed into line in of the amp... Something about the qualityes of the electric signal, about Voltage and Intennsity.
No it's not. The EQ is noisy.
