I got a Koss Pro DJ100 headphone two weeks ago based partly on the budget king thread (also enjoying the free flac albums thread). Before it arrived, I was afraid the cord would be too long to use without braiding, but it is 8 ft coiled, so it is really only 3 ft long. I like the huge soundstage and don't mind the quiet bass, but I got an Auvio headphone amp from radio shack to see if an amp could really make any difference. (I got the off-brand amp instead of a Fiio amp since it was available locally and didn't seem too bad based on the reviews)
I haven't noticed a difference in sound quality between amp or no amp on computer flac audio (old Santa Cruz Turtle Beach soundcard, which only works on Linux OS's such as Ubuntu due to old drivers). This could be because I haven't charged it up enough. The audio from the sound card is already loud enough since I listen quietly to avoid hearing damage, so I am only interested in improving sound quality. Could it be that I just haven't noticed the difference yet, or is an amp pointless in this situation?
