Out of my iPod into my 1964-Ts, the only overt benefit I can see of using a headphone amp would be the ability to utilize the LOD. What exactly does the amp circuit do besides the adding of more AC power for driving headphones? To myself the gain is redundant as customs are easily driven and too loud as it is, I am more interested in the sound quality amps purportedly have. What exactly gives each amp its signature sound what makes a portable amp able to reproduce a track with supposedly increased detail and why should we regard this as a good thing, given that the nature of audiophillia as I understand it would be to reproduce the track as accurately and true to the source as possible? I look forward to your input
