Default Best Portable amp for a BASSHEAD?

yeah im a basshead, i need more bass. i was considering

ibasso d2 amp
headstage lyrix pro (BASS GAIN)
C+C xo (BASS GAIN)
meier audio headsix
xin supermicro iv
xin supermini

so what do you guys think? need some help picking the next amp...currently using the C&C f1..kind of dissapointed in its synergy (lack thereof) with my denon d2000.

edit: this will be driving the denon d5000

The Graham Slee Voyager has quite a warm sound as it is, but it also has a "contour" switch that provides a really good bass boost without distorting or affecting the other frequencies at all. I've been saving to get one to go with my D5000's (had one a while ago but had to sell it for financial reasons).

okay boys upon doing further research in skylabs roundup, he had some artifacts describing the Headphonia Headstage Lyrix Pro. Even though he deleted the actual review, he used the Headphonia as a reference to gauge performance of other amps, apparently its a very good performer and one of the best amps for the buck.not to mention the current headphonia is an upgraded version. I think im going to get this amp. thanks for the input boys.

head fi is the **** =D

+1 Very warm amp to begin with (listening to mine right now) And the 3 gain bass boost doesnt affect the mids and highs much at all.

The RSA Tomahawk (or Predator, if it's in your budget) should also be on your list. Oodles of lovely bass.
