I'm curious if it does and if so to what extent. Reason i ask is because i recently purchased a Behringer UCA202 audio interface, and just now found out it has an output impedance of 50ohms. Plugging my 34ohm headphones back and forth between the UCA and my ipod (which is rated at 5ohms output impedance) i'm not so sure i heard a difference. The only clear difference was a major improvement over my phones output and my laptops output, which was literally night and day. An even bigger difference was noted when going back and forth between my phone and the UCA with my 16ohm etymotics. Actually the etymotics sound fantastic out of the UCA, they sound like crap out of my laptop and phone in comparison. Based on the fact the output impedance for the UCA is 50ohms, (which is probably higher than both my phone and laptop) shouldn't it be the other way around?
