I might go for an amp when i get my next cans after the ms1 |
As rickcr42 pointed out correctly, often it is noise at the source that is mistaken for amp noise. For this reason, until someone starts selling portable preamps, I prefer headphone amps to have a volume control so that the source (if it only has a headphone out jack) can be set to a minimal gain and the amp can be used for the greater share of volume regulation. |
