Q-Jays (39 ohms) were first tried with an IPOD Classic (no SR-71) for rock downloaded at 320bits from Itunes. Excellent first impression at 80% IPOD volume --- no expert am I, but good soundstage, good bass, and punchy. I put the SR-71 in (w/out a line-out) and the volume was fairly similar at about 75% of the SR-71's volume. The sound was also different --- softer and less punchy (at least to me). Is this normal --- Emmeline sound signature or something? (Previous use of the SR-71 Emmeline with a 5th generation Video IPOD was terrific --- albeit I used a sound dock for use as a line-out ---and different phones such as a prior generation Shure or Ety 4p --- unfortunately, my dog got to these .
Was the surprising w/SR-71 and w/out SR-71 "difference" possibly due to the different phones, no line-out, or perhaps less than full strength batteries in the Emmeline? Or even the 5th generation IPOD vs. the Classic IPOD? Thanks for any answers to this convoluted question!
