Default Advice on Portable Amp for ER4P

Hi,

I recently purchased a pair of ER4Ps and love the detail. I'm looking for a portable amp that can drive these IEMs and also provide bass boost. I was surprised to find 2 amps that actually allow you to use the ER4Ps as ER4Ss through their impedance feature, ie, the Minibox E+ and the Xin SuperMini IV. Any suggestions as to a suitable amp as I think that either of these 2 would make good choices with the ER4Ps.

Thanks!

im hesitant to recommend the graham slee voyager as I think its only good with the er4p as it has a very dark signature so the amp and phones kinda balance out, and of course it has a bass switch (contour)

I do think its a fantastic amp its just the sound signature may not be to your liking.

See what others say but I suspect the minibox e+ will win out

XM5 also an excellent choice. The bass boost works great, also has the 75 Ohm feature.
