I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 660 S2 headphones that I’m currently using with the 3.5 to lightning dongle for my iPhone 14 pro. I’m looking into purchasing a Fiio jadeaudio KA1 DAC/amp, but need some clarity.
I’m well aware that DAC’s alone don’t increase volume, but rather just convert digital to analog. What I can’t find an answer for is the amp side of it.
Since this is a combo DAC/amp will my volume be increased versus just using the regular dongle?
Everything I search just tells me that DACs don’t increase volume. But then why does this particular model have a built in amp? Certainly it would be to increase volume/provide more power to my headphones.
Can someone help me out? The question is simply will this particular DAC make my music louder if I desire?
Thanks
