Complete noob needs more advice please.
I need a budget stationary headphone setup for my home exercise bike.
I need isolation as the bike is very loud and I already have some mild high frequency hearing loss.
I'm thinking of getting an oppo DV-970 HD universal DVD player for a source.
And etymotic ER-4P In Ear Monitors for their isolation.
What should I use for amplification?
Does the line out jack have enough power that I would need an attenuator instead of an amplifier?
What about a Cmoy type amp, on ebay, with the builder optimizing a low gain for the ER-4Ps?
Or do I need a real amp, like a headroom Micro amp? If I bought the Headroom, do I really need the DAC to go with it?
