They sound great. I just wish that bass would go down even lower. It becomes inaudible at 20Hz.
I actually have a question that maybe you can help me out with.
I purchased a cMoyBB 2.03 amp but I am not completely satisfied.
My signal chain is this:
Laptop headphone out (Realtek 888s) > cMoyBB > Starkey SA-43.
To my ears, the laptop headphone out sounds better than with the amp. With the cMoy, the bass distorts at the same volume level as the laptop output alone (which doesn't).
The laptop output's bass I feel goes a little deeper and is smoother.
The specs for the laptop out put are 'Headphone amplifier output @32ohm Load'
The SA-43 is rated at 50ohms so this would mean that the laptop output is not fully powering the earphones, but the sound is still better than the cMoy!
So my question is, do you think the laptops onboard amp is better than the cMoy?
Would the sound worsen if you connect an already amplified signal to the cMoy? If so, how would you obtain an unamplified signal?
The cMoy makes my phone and tablet sound better though.
I am a noob so would like some expert advice please.
Sorry if I havn't explained myself properly.
Thanks
