First question-
I recently tried using my headphones in a different jack on my pc and realized that the front jack is about 30% louder then the back and speaker adapter jack. Is there any reason for this? The front jack also has some static which the other two don't have.
Question 2:
I'm using JVC rx900's which for the most part I love- best ive tried thus far. But they are a bit quiet, I need to crank pc sound up to 50% for most things, and sometimes when a quiet audio plays It simply wont go high enough- although this is rare. would it be a good idea to grab a (cheap) Dac/amp to fix my issue? Would a dac alone give me the volume of the front jack, or would it need the amp to do that?
Also when I say cheap I mean the like 20$ cheapo dacs, was looking at
PCM2706 + CS4344 +Dual TDA1308 or the ELE EL do01/2
Why cheap? Because I'm unsure of how much of a real world difference it will make. Thanks for your help!
Also can anyone explain why everyone seems to say that an amp will make a huge sound quality difference? Isn't an amp just volume? And if the music im listening to is already super loud wouldn't an amp be pointless?
