So I've just got my first good pair of headphones (Shure SE530s) and I love em already...but I'm using my laptop and my ipod. The sound is great but from what I read around here I'm sure it could be a lot better.
There are a few different routes I'm investigating and I'd like to go with the most economical one, I'm not going to upgrade everything I've got. The headphone jack on my ipod is breaking so I'm wondering if a Cowon is good enough to run the headphones unamped. The other option is to get a fiio e11.
Basically it boils down to the question "Would I get better sound quality out of an unamped Cowon or an ipod touch amped with a Fiio E-11 or variant?".
Any additional input is appreciated
