The rear 4.4 line out should have an output impedance of 200 ohm. It will definitely sound different, but better?I got my Gryphon yesterday and found out a strange thing. I used my FD7, plucked it into the front 4,4 jack and gave it a listen and thought "Hmm, this thing sound doesn't sound better than my Qudelix". Tested some digital filters and used the bit-perfect filter. Tested the IEMatch. Yea, better but not as good as the Qudelix. Then i got the idea to plug it into the rear 4,4 out. BOOM, sounds exactly like the Qudelix. But the question is, why does the front out sounds not as good as the rear out? Does it need a burn-in because it has more transistors, when i look to the PCB? Its very stange!
Edit: Is the IEMatch necessary for the FD7? Will be annoyed if the Gryphon isn't quiet enough for the FD7 without the iematch.
Looking forward to trying my own FD7 with the Gryphon when I finally get my hands on it (already bought one, but had it sent to my home while I'm overseas).
