wow that looked nice, great test but it made me wonder something, what happens if you use a DAP without an amp? like for example the cowon iaudio10, what happens if you use that on a JVC SZ1000/2000 without an amp?
Good question - and here's your answer - both videos using SONY MDR-XB1000 headphones - first video is running solely off Cowon iaudio 10 DAP on maximum volume, and second video is Cowon with E12 amp

DisCHORDDubstep knows the score, and the answer lies in it's name - amplifier - and as in this case, an audio amplifier:
"audio amplifier - an amplifier that increases the amplitude of reproduced sound"
ie schiit gets louder :basshead: or as it's sometimes referred to as to "pump up the noise"

Not using an amp on cans that require it or need driving for purpose of these bass/paper tests is equivalent to using melons as ammo for a cannon - just not going to do anywhere near as much damage as a cannonball
Melons are one thing, but bananas are the worst - always avoid bananas in your tail pipe, you'll get a lot of congestion followed by misfires :eek:
