Hi!

I'm new to the forum, so apologies in advance for any faut-pas's I'll make... if any

.

I was wondering if a portable amp like XM4 will improve sound from my Denon AH-D1001 cans? I use them connected straight to the iPod Touch (1G) and since they have only 32 ohm impedance, they're driven pretty well.

So would I notice any significant improvement in the sound accuracy or soundstage by using a portable amp like XM4? Does it make any sense to use headphone amps with cans that have such low impedance at all?

Many thanks and Regards,

i doubt it ... but if you'll use a LOD you should notice a difference

Ok, so it seems no reason to buy an amp for such cans.

I was also wondering what options do I have if I'm looking for a slight bass boost. I like to feel powerful sound of the foot-drum (is this the right way to call it in english?) in rock music. iPod's EQ bass boost is obviously s... I guess I have the following options:

- change my headphones to sth like DT770
- buy an amp like XM4 or E5 which has a bass boost option.

Can anyone recommend me which option to follow?

Many thx
