First of, hello.
I'm new here and also new to the whole Audiophile scene. I was looking for some decent IEMs when I came across this site and after researching this forum a bit, I decided to up my budget for the IEMs from my planned $50 to whatever I had to spend to get the IEMs I now wanted (thanks for not helping my wallet guys
).
Now I'm hooked... I hear things I never heard before and everything sounds so blissful... I digress...
I ended up buying a pair of Ety ER-4Ps. My reasoning behind buying the P instead of S model was that I wanted the lower impedance model for just hooking it straight up to my Cowon D2 and when/if I get a portable amp, I can just use an P->S adapter (like the one from APS), or I could use the impedance adjustment on some amps like the Practical Devices XM5.
My question is this: Is there a SQ loss when using a P->S adapter or the amps impedance adjust compared to just using ER-4S Etys?
Thanks for your help in advance and I apologize for what probably is a noobish question, but I am still a noob at this, heh.
