[QUOTE="chipwelder, post: 149947, member: 54"] Ja... unfortunately the various headphone impedances and efficiencies make about as much diffs in drive-ability as the variation in speakers... So ja... with the more efficient hp's (like the AT MH50's and Grado's and Shure's) a little chip driven by batteries in a small box will probably not be [b]much[/b] better than the little IC inside the phone / ipod... Really hard to decide, between my audio interface and an old mp3 player and an ipod the Shure SR840's didnt change much, audio interface was less grainy and a little cleaner sounding, but only once I used Ludo's Class A HP amp did I get what the headphone people were raving about... So ja... there are plenny of Aurelia's in the cape, so an audition should be easy and there is an aurelia in the classifieds... that will be better than the cmoy... [/QUOTE]
