Its not about if something can drive them to loud levels. It's about the sound quality. Things are dramatically tighter with an amp unless of course the source has enough to drive it. My iPhone and laptop can drive them louder than I listen but don't sound nearly as good as when amped.
If distortion is low and FR is flat then there should be no issue. What would cause lack of good sound? If they are loud enough they are getting enough power to sound their best.
I used to have the same concern as you, but after extensive research and using an a/b switch to compare between sources, I've come to the conclusion that there is indeed no difference between using my Sansa Fuze and Leckerton UHA760. Jm2c.
