First off, NICE CAPS BRO!

The E11 won't alter the quality, just amplify it.

I'm not aware the D2 has a heaphone amp maybe that's why they sound low. So you would need something like the Fiio E11 to drive them. And no you wont lose SQ using a amp.

Spelling and grammar, is also nice.

The D2 doesn't have a dedicated headphone amp. The Xonar's that do, are the DG, Essence and Xense.

As others have said, using an amp won't degrade the sound quality at all.

To be quite blunt, you already have the amp connected and in use. Why are you asking us if you lose SQ? you should be telling us your findings.

Exactly what I was thinking. If you don't notice the difference in SQ then it surely doesn't matter.
