I had the same question. I have a sansa clip v1 with rockbox. My pc has an onboard sound card (high definition audio device is the name?). When I use my earphones (soundmagic e10) with my clip it sounds ok'ish but lacks any omph and energy. When I plug in the same earphones into the lineout of my cheap desktop speakers (which is connected to the pc), the music sounds much much better. The soundstage is slightly bigger, musical separation is notably better, there's a lot more energy, and the bass has much more omph. Is this down to the pc having more power or the software? I'm using winamp/foobar without any sound enhancers.
Will an amp be enough to recreate the sound from my pc?
