Default Which NuForce Icon would look best with Touch

I am going to be using a 1G Touch with some Phonak Audeos. The touch is silver and black and the headphones are black and silver.

I thought about getting the silver version but the black might be a little better.

Any suggestions?

Well the Touch is kind of a chrome, and the Icon is sort of a matte brushed-aluminum. The black would look better, imo.

The Icon Mobile is one of the few portable amps that can actually be called portable. Stop hatin'.

So... what exactly is wrong with the NuForce? And what would be a better amp then? I'm not planning on using the DAC BTW.

i really like the nuforce icon mobile i think it is the best bang for the buck. we are about to have the same setup. I just ordered the phonak audeos today. I think this amp is really good with IEMs and even good with my akg k272hd.
