I don't see how forcing anything to a higher output power creates cleaner signals man...

Impedance matching is usually done at the cable/board level to maximize power transfer. To match the characteristic impedance (Zo).

The ER-4 from Etymotic has an impedence adapter (resistive adapter) that acts in conjunction with the capacitance to form a filter that changes the frequency response of the unit using it.

well i couldnt find much info.. that's one of them that i found.. probably..
anyway if talking about signal attenuation.. if the output is not strong enuff.. there will be some attenuation, or frequency drops..

Attenuation doesn't work that way. Attenuation is a fixed function for the most (sometimes frequency dependent)

If you have a level of attenuation, the signal will be attenuated by that level only.

eg; an Attenuation of 1 dB, so if you put 10 dB in, you come out with 9 dB, if you put in 40dB, you come out with 39 dB. Something like that.
