Sgt. Ear Ache
100+ Head-Fier
Well like I said though, with other sources the Q1 is more than powerful enough to drive both the AKGs and my HE400i cans to ear-splitting levels. That’s with both the USB connection from my laptop or the 3.5 mm headphone jack input. But with the jack from the ds4 it’s like the amp isn’t really doing anything at all. And it’s not like the output from the jack on the controller is all that loud on its own even with just the earbuds...i’m not sure what you mean by “some little FiiO amp”. They are designed to provide better amplification for headphones...
Actually, I think i’ve answered my own question. I suspect it’s just the case that the maximum power output of the jack on the controller is simply lower than the output on my iPad or iPhone7. The amp just doesn’t have enough to work with there.
