I have just bought the Senheiser 595s and am waiting for them to turn up.....in the meantime I was thinking about amps. What is the difference between a dedicated headphone amp and just plugging them into a bog standard phones socket on a Kenwood amp?
Obviously the sound is tailored to driving the former, but what is the likely difference we are talking here, how much better would the sound be if I forked out on a headphone amp and how much would I be looking at typically to do a good job in a reasonable budget?
Lastly in my current situation, that of plugging them into either my amp or my cd player....which would be best for sound quality...or will there be no difference between the two?
Any info is appreciated, especially as I am still a gimp at all this.
