What does scales with amping mean? I see people always mentioning this about dynamic driver headphones. I have limited access to different amps, so I can't really test this by myself, and when I research it, so here I am in the Newbie section of this forum.
If I have a headphone that can get very loud without distorting with my amp, what will an amp with more power give me?
Let's say, I have an HD600 and a Topping A50, which measures great. If we take build quality, longevity etc. out of the equation and talk only about output power, would getting a Topping A90 (which also measures great) make the headphones sound "fuller" or whatever else terms are used by people? What difference does it make?
I read the same about some low impedance/efficient earphones. Some of them sound sound pretty good and loud out of an Apple dongle, but I read people mentioning that they "scale with amping". (i.e Final Audio E3000). How and why would they scale with amping (if such a thing exists)?
