If you're driving a 100kohm cmos preamp from your headphone jack,
your ipod ain't gonna be burning a lot of battery life wiggling that
headphone output voltage against such a light load. It'd down in the
noise next to spinning the hard disk.

So you are saying that the output of ANY power amp
(whether it is the micro-power chip inside an iPod
or a 10KW rock-concert bruiser) is NOT dependent
on the input signal level? Sorry to hear that you have
no control over power amps in your world. :-)

Funny to watch you guys arguing about completely different things :-)
Did you actually read what he wrote?
(that it may be completely off topic is another matter entirely)
