Sorry in advance, I didn't notice a "noobie" forum to use, so I thought I'd try it in here.
First off, I'm new, this is my first post and I never even knew they had such things like a portable headphone amp. I am intrigued.
My question is simple: I own a Zune 120 GB MP3 player, and I mostly use it in my car when I'm driving around town and such. My 2006 4Runner already has a JBL system (their premier sound system..something like..10 speakers w/ a powered amp blah blah..) I have an AUX Line-In and I use a stereo cable to connect my headphone out to my AUX connection to my car radio.
I works pretty well...the JBL system actually isn't too bad, but was curious to know if using a Protable Headphone Amp would do anything for me in this situation.
I have a slight understanding here that it would go something like this: Zune headphone out to Line-in of the Portable Amp, Portable Amp Line-Out to the AUX line-in of my car stereo...and thus better sound quality?
Though keeping this in mind, there is an amp powering the factory JBL stereo system...so the portable amp would be sending its signal to the factory amplifier first then to the stereo/speakers.
I would also probably use the amp when I walk the dog...or go to the gym. I really am looking for something that nice and thing...Maybe no bigger than a deck of cards..
Though, I'm really looking to get this amp for my Zune while in my car.
is this something I can look in to or is this considered a "NO NO."
BTW: for headphones, I plan on getting the Shure SE530s...
thanks!
