Hi all,
I generally listen to music while on the computer with my Philips Fidelio L1 (love it!) plugged into an Asus Xonar DX or directly to my h/c amp Denon 1911.
I read here and there that both the DX and Denon were not top of their class in terms of headphone driving and I must admit that I'm quite disatisfied by my Denon's output, lacking definition.
Given my setup, I wonder if my cans would benefit from an amp ?
I also listen to music on the run with Cowon J3 and Westone UM2 with custom molds, and i've struggled with the volume being too high, maybe a portable amp would also help ?
I think my number one priority is versatility, I would like to plug it to my computer, amp and portable player (not a deal-breaker if not possible)
Thanks !
