Kind of a newbie here, I bought the Massdrop x NuForce EDC3. Listening mostly to music from my Laptop (Dell, running Linux). Would this be an upgrade that's worth it?
OnraadYou may see some improvement if the sound card in your Laptop is bad by replacing it with a DAC, but the EDC3 probably won't sound much different with an amp. They are very sensitive IEMs (100 dB at 1 kHZ) with low impedance (16 ohm) which means they're generally made to be used and without an amp, which again should generally mean they sound good (and reach a loud enough volume) without one.
