Hi sorry I'm quite bad with sound science, but just to check, will double amping fry any equipment?
I'm thinking of this setup:
PC (line out) to Tempotec Sonata HD (which is a DAC/AMP combination) to Fiio A3 (AMP) to IEM/headphones
I tried it with PC at max volume (sonata HD has no volume controller), and just controlled the volume at the 2nd amp (Fiio A3), and found that the sound is a bit fuller for soundstage and details.
I know there may be amplified noise/distortion that may adversely affect sound quality, but will this cause any damage to the 2nd amp?
Thanks for your advise and input, greatly appreciated.
