Hi guys, I'm currently using a 4G iPod with Ety ER-4Ps. This combo sounds fantastic for a lot of my music, but I'm now considering a headphone amp. The only one I'm really interested in is the SuperMacro 3, but I could do with some advce.
First, how much of an improvement will this be? I realize this is an incredibly subjective question, but just go ahead and give me your thoughts. Feel free to quantify the unquantifiable and hazard a percentage improvement. Just what you feel off the top of your head - I just want to get an impression. I guess I'm hoping for an overall fuller, richer sound and particularly better bass.
Second, I've heard you can request a higher bass boost than the standard 5 db. I appreciate full bass and can find the Etys lacking on cetain kinds of music (esp. rock). Is the 5 db boost enough for those who like a bit of low end? Does anyone have experience of what level you can go to without overly distorting the sound? BTW, I listen to a wide range of music, from rock to acoustic to jazz, occasional classical but not much.
Third, would the 627 opamps be a worthwhile addition? I've heard they're particularly good for the low and high ends.
Any thoughts on these questions would be warmly welcomed.
Regards, Pablor
