Reply to comment by sverek in What does it mean to properly “power” a headphone? by soldkeyboard57

Not really. Difference between pc/phone direct output and 100$ DAC will be a much bigger difference then between 100$ DAC and 2000$ DAC.

And me personally cannot understand why anybody spend bug money on headphones and plug it directly into laptop/phone.

Maybe try to understand about powering headphones and how much power is needed. It can be calculated.

But yeah, why bother. Just get dac/amp and be safe.

You would be surpised how many people here think that DAC is DAC/AMP combo.

I see that you mean DAC as DAC, not amp. In that case you right!

Yeah right.

A lot of people does not distinguish the DAC and DAC/AMP combo and very often refers to DAC but meaning AMP.
