Hello all,
So i recently just ordered Mad Dogs by Mr.Speakers, needless to say there is no shortage of compliments and good things to say about these headphones. Im waiting on a Schitt Lyr as a dedicated for these headphones. Now, a friend has lent me a brand new Leckerton Audio UHA6s-MKII AMP/DAC to play around with. This is my first time playing with a external DAC/AMP combination. Im listening through this amp as we speak and comparing it directly to an Iphone 5 with a set of random Bose IEM's i have laying around and I am confused as to why i like the sound directly from my iphone better than through my VOX-->Macbook pro-->USB--->Leckerton setup ? Im utterly confused and don't really have a logical reasoning for this other than I may not be sending the music through to the Leck correctly ? Now, I wasn't expecting a mind-blowing nirvana of an experience, but the fact that a 300$ amp/dac and an iphone are comparable to me is astonishing. Is this because of the IEM's ? Also, im guessing that the Leck wont be anywhere near powerful enough to juice up the MadDogs for portable use. Id be lugging it over to the library as i am currently in Pharmacy school. I appreciate the time from any knowledgable members on this forum.
