I'm seeing conflicting advice on here. If I'm also getting the AKG KXX headphones, and maybe upgrade in the future, should I go for standard, or medium gain? Right now only medium is available, so I'm debating whether I should wait.
Is there a case to get the medium gain, as opposed to the standard gain? I would have thought you could just get the standard, and turn the volume knob down if it's too loud, so there would be no point to getting the medium gain unit.

jaeun87To reply to my own question since nobody seemed to bother. The medium gain would have worked just fine. Currently using a Fiio 10K since I was able to get from a coworker and I don't even have to crank it up to 4 (out of 10) and it's already plenty loud. The Fiio 10K has way less output than this amp. Doubt I would have needed much more.
If you plug them directly to your phone, the sound will be just barely loud enough for some listening but that will be at pretty much the max volume. So not very optimal. No comment on the sound quality straight from the phone since I didn't even bother testing once I saw the volume was just barely acceptable. (S8+)
