I just got my pair of GR07s about a week ago, currently have about 50 hours on them and I am really, really impressed with how the sound is shaping up.
I have one question though: would it be worth it to buy a portable amp for them?
The reason I ask is because I'm noticing a pretty significant difference in sound from my laptop than from my ipod. The sound is...punchier, and the underlying musical lines are much more forward and have more presence, which I like.
Is this merely a symptom of the output quality being better on my laptop, or is it because they are better driven coming from my laptop? I'm going to guess it's a bit of both.
If an amp is something I should look into, I'm just looking for a portable amp. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, and I have no intentions of using it for anything other than whatever portable media player I'm using (I'm pretty content with how the sound is from my laptop). Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
