I don't post much to the portables forum, so please forgive me if this is on the noob side of the moon. I'm more of a lurker.
I think just about everyone who frequents the portables forum desperately wants a DAP that does not hiss, crackle, pop, motor boat, or grind when driving low impedance (~16 ohm) highly sensitive IEMs.
Im curious, Hypothetically IF someone were to make a player designed to drive these impedance loads cleanly... How would that player respond to sourcing an amp? Most portable amps present impedance loads in the 10kohm (give or take) range.
Do you think a player optimized for 16 ohm loads could sound just as good pushing the front end of an amp?
Curious...
