Hi all,
I've been thinking about getting a cheap portable headphone amp (sub $100) for a while and was wondering if getting an amp for an ipod nano is of any use as I'm only running triple.fi 10's?
I'd run the Ipod line out and get a decent cable such as this, and I'd probably also end up getting a JDSLabs CMOY BB v 2.03.
I'm not entirely sure that this will make the sound that much better than running the TF10's straight out of the ipod, but could anyone with more experience let me know?
Also would just spending 80 or 90 dollars on an upgraded TF10 cable be a better investment? Do these expensive cables - either line out or for the earphones (off ebay) help?
Sorry i'm a bit of a noob, but my electrical engineer housemates are questioning the usefulness of spending >$100 amping an ipod.
Cheers,
