I apologize if this is a stupid newbie question, but I honestly haven't been able to figure this out:
Why is it recommended to connect headphone amplifiers to the line out of CD players, soundcards, or iPods/DAPs? What do you lose by connecting another amplifier to the headphone jack?
I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying a Micro amp, and was wondering if it would be blasphemy to hook that up to the (really high-quality) headphone jack on my Echo Indigo, or do I need to get a separate USB DAC with a "pure" line out?
