This question should have a pretty straight-forward answer (I hope). Essentially I want to know whether the quality of sound output from speakers or headphones would degrade if the output device is connected to the 3.5mm jack output of another device in series.
Ex:
Headphones connected to the 3.5mm output jack of a monitor, which in turn gets its input from the 3.5mm output of a desktop PC. Should the sound quality in the headphones be the exact same as if they were connected directly to the PC? If it isn't, what variables does it depend on?
Lastly, what if the connection was
Headphones -> speakers -> monitor -> PC (basically adding one more item in the chain)
Would the quality change then?
Thanks in advance, guys !
