Can anybody explain me the following, please?
The logic says that a poor quality audio signal, when amplified, will remain of poor quality.
The signal coming from a jack output of a smartphone is of relatively poor quality. I mean, collecting the audio signal from the headphone output of a smartphone is more or less like collecting it from the headphone output of a CD player (instead of collecting it from the line outputs of the CD player).
However, when amplified through a portable amp, that smartphone signal clearly improves in quality.
How is this possible? It just contradicts the principle Ā«you canāt make a silk purse out of a pigās ear Ā»ā¦ or Ā« you canāt turn crap into gold Ā» .
