IEMs, particularly those with dynamic drivers, often scale far more with amplification than people realise.
Portable amps can add across-the-board improvements even to TOTL DAPs who's space for amplification circuitry is limited. At the very least they're a means of altering the presentation in a manner that may suit a particular IEM better, which is certainly the case with the A8000s.
Bob after Astra Ultraque made a huge step forward in quality and definition. So again I highly recommend to listen to the last gen Bob's iem's. I was in love with Elan and Astra Ultraque. Avalon are more sophisticated and require an upgrade cable (silver or high quality graphene is recommended). EDP ACE are more linear but lovely and ZII provide nice bass perception.
Fair enough. My go-to when I was younger, for years and years, were discman's and $20 sony/sennheiser earbuds. It's sorta why I have no interest in in-ears now.
I suppose peak hearing ability is wasted on the young hahaha
