Pardon the newbie question, but can someone explain to me why a headphone amp is so significant an improvement that I should spend money on it?
I've heard music through a headphone amp at a local store while testing headphones I thought I might want to buy. I then played the same music on my iPod, and I couldn't really tell much of a difference.
What exactly is it doing? Is it lowering the noise floor or something? What does an amplifier do that is worth the money?
This is not a rant, I'm just curious, Sell me on the idea!
In addition, if you have any specific products you feel are good to try, feel free to share them.
