I'll go along with the others and advise you not to add the amp to your system. Am also using the 530's with 3G Touch and am already getting very good sound. I'll add that I think you've already done one of the best thing for getting good SQ from a portable device: purchased a very good set...

No changes. 2g case should work fine on the 3g.

Seems to me that you would have to compare it with another 3gs in order to determine whether or not your particular unit is defective. It may simply be that you prefer the sound the nano is putting out compared to that of the 3gs.
