Just out of curiousity's sake, I tried to A/B my nano's headphone out vs the lineout without an amp.
I used a sendstation dock at the lineout and my freq shows into the dock. At the risk of my ears, I listened to some lossless/high encoded songs. To my amazement, the difference was stark!!! Of course the volume was almost at my listening threshold so I did not leave it in too long.
The sound's definitely better, very much clearer than through the headphone out. Of course due to the volume, it was abit harsh but musically wise it was good I must say.
In fact, my bro and I concluded that the diff b/w headphone w/o amp and line out w/o amp was greater than the jump between headphone out w amp and line out w amp. I.E. same comparisons between headphone out and line out but 1 with amp and 1 without amp.
the amp in this case was my headsix.
Now.. do you think it's possible I used a level attenuator, connected it along with my earphones to the sendstation dock and live with this set up?
Maybe some others who've been crazy enough risk their ears can lend their impressions too =)
