Hi there, bit of a noob to all this stuff, but recently got myself a pocket amp 2, and a sendstation pocket dock to see if I could squeeze some extra life out of my iPhone 3GS and my Sennheiser HD555's.
But..
I cannot for the life of me hear any difference. Am I going deaf? I have listened to a lot of music in my time, but I don't consider myself to have poor hearing. I have been assured I should hear a significant improvement in sound quality, but I have to admit (after a LOT of testing, including making sure I'm using apple lossless files ripped personally with iTunes etc) I really can't tell the difference between listening through the pocket amp and listening through the 3.5mm jack in the top of the device.
Is this expected? Do I need to spend lots of money on some new headphones?
I'd appreciate some help on this one, as I may end up backtracking and selling all the extra stuff I seem to now be carrying around and configuring when I get to work in the morning (much to the interest of those around me!)
Cheers
Adam.
