I am currently using the control pod for my Klipsch promedia 5.1 system to power my headphones. It simply sounds "amplified." Louder with more bass. I assume that it has some sort of headphone amp built into the control pod. When plugged into the line out of my on board sound card the sound is "weaker."
Baring purchasing a dac/amp, would it benefit me to run an optical cable to a receiver that I have and use the receiver as my amp for the headphones? Yes, I know that a decent fiio would only run about $80 but the receiver was about $400 and I just wondered if it would sound better...
thanks
