When most of the headphones even my hd600 can be driven to extremely
laud level by headphone out of external sound card (I have Philips Aurilium
and diyeden svdac05, also have Perreaux SXH1 amp),
what does it mean by saying need more power to drive headphone?
Thus, dedicated headphone amp is needed for cans like hd600?
I understand better headphone amp amplifies the signal better than built in
headphone jack, but even built in headphone jack provide enough power (the
voltage and the current) to the headphone?
My question may sound stupid;
Please help me understand the reason why headphones need dedicated amp
for their full potential. And also suggest how much of improvements should
one can expect by adding amp.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
