is headphone amp suitable for RF wireless headphone? wat's the difference between using a headphone with and without amp? thank you.

No.

The headphone receives an FM signal and so has its own internal amp on your head (as it were).

Just make sure that the signal going into your FM sender is as clean as possible. If you connect using a single wire into the sender, then what I do is have the volume of the music player at about 80%.

Putting an amp before the FM sender unit will make it louder, but will probably drive the sender too hard, resulting in distortion at the headphone end.

well i've seen it done; but to be honest I dont actually see the point of amping if you are going to use wireless. the only reason is if maybe your DAP produces a lot of hiss and you would rather get rid of that before the RF signal. otherwise it seems pointless to me, because its the amp in the wireless receiver that will do the amping. you could for instance instead of using an amp get one of the LOD's that just have a female mini socket instead of a cable and plug your transceiver into that. that way you get to use line out as well.

edit: thats assuming you have a DAP with a line-out at all
