I've somewhat picked out a pair that I liked, but i'm worried i'll need an amplifier. I went to the crutchfield store the other day and fell in love with a pair of Sennheiser HD598s. Although when I was at the store I tested them using an amplifier they had at the store that all the headphones were plugged into. I like to use my phone because it has a pretty good built in DAC and plays FLAC with a nice UI instead of feeling like a dollar store mp3 player. I'll probably end up getting a 5.5 gen ipod video for capacity, but I like my phone. What i'm really wondering is will I need an amp and has anybody used these with a phone? The phone i'm using is a samsung galaxy note 2 and sometimes a samsung epic. I've also looked into kernel modifications for the phone that allow more control over the DAC and amplification, but i'm worried about burning it out. Any help and experience with that would also be appreciated.
