Before you think I'm out of mind, I am seriously looking at upgrading from the E3C to a better IEM like UE Super.fi 5pro or possibly a sealed headphone like AKG K271 studio. These headphones would be strickly used with the IPOD. I need isolation and low leakage for riding the train.
But before I updgrade I thought I would try the E3C with an RSA Hornet and see how it might impact the quality of sound, e.g., a little deeper bass, more liquid mids, silkier highs.
There's not a lot of risk here. I think the amp route will provide some improvement to much improvement with all the headphones mentioned. At least I'll be using line-out vs. head-phone out.
There's probably not too many of you buying a Hornet for E3Cs but maybe you have tried the combination and can offer your thoughts on how the Hornet impacted the sound of the E3Cs. It would be interesting to see if a quality amp like that the Hornet raises the E3Cs up a notch or two in performance.
