Headphoneus Supremus
So I'm still on the prowl of getting a headphone amp to try out. I've never used an amp before but have read the benefits of using one depending on hardware setup. So I want to see/hear for myself. After visiting the iBasso website I have become interested in their amps due to the pricing offered as well as the mostly positive reviews given here on the forums.
Here's the scenarios I would be using an amp:
Zune HP-out w/ SE530 (everyday use)
iPod LOD w/ SE530 or UE Pros (travel or selective use)
Laptop w/ IEM or full cans (games)
So worthwhile or not? Either way I'd still likely buy an amp from iBasso first because I could get the amp, mini cable, LOD adapter for under $300. The question then really becomes "which model?": D2, D3, or the new D10?
Comments/suggestions appreciated.
