Exactly.
To OP, I'd much rather have you spend your time and money on acquiring better source material and have that ripped in lossless format for your iPod.
Nowadays I just stick an earbud or ksc into whatever source I'm carrying. No amps, no fat wires, no unwanted attention, no hassle.
Update:
Yeah, because the difference between lossless and 256-320kb AAC while on the go, is so much more profound and meaningful than the difference a portable amp can make, plus space in your pocket is so much more valuable than space for more music
Completely missed this detail.
Please make an effort to audition some equipment before you start buying them.
agreed
Depends on the portable amp, depends on the headphones, a class A portable amp will make for a marked improvement in sound quality for a lot of IEMs and a huge improvement with full sized cans.
This has been my experience with all IEMs and full sized open and closed headphones that I have used.

I still think a lot of people come here looking for an 'amplifier', when what they REALLY want is a cheap, tube-rollable amplifier with Miku Hatsune on the face plate.
Hi, hello. I have a question, sorry for thread jacking.
Question: Will connecting an amp to a headphone jack, without bypassing the internal amp, make any noticeable differences in the sound quality?
