Hi all,
I haven't been in here for years...
First of all, THANK you in advance if you can answer my questions.
I've been an owner of the UM2s for about 3.5 years. I started using them again recently and decided an amp would be nice to increase the quality of my music. I usually listen to MP3s rated around 200kbps and sometimes 320kbps.
However, I have little knowledge about which amps are good for my purposes. I am looking for one which can connect to my laptop/desktop and iPod Video (old school 60gb). If I get an amp such as the CORDA 2MOVE (which has USB connection), I don't have to worry about upgrading the sound card on my laptop, correct?
Also, I noticed that theres a program that fixes MP3s so that it doesn't distort on the iPod. I never played with it, but was wondering if it made a huge difference. There is definitely distortion with EQ on with my iPod Video.
Is there anything else I should be concerned with or get?
I plan to use my 280s for games. How much of an improvement would an amp be? Is the CORDA 2MOVE good for this headphone as well?
Any experiences posted will be truly appreciated!
Thanks again!
