Ive got a Cowon O2 that Id like to get more volume out of so I decided to get an amp. After looking through Head-Fi reviews I settled for a Little Dot Micro +.

The LDM+ had features that I liked etc etc thats why I chose it. After re-reading some of the reviews on the LDM+ I think I made a bad choice.

I have a pair of er6i's that I'll be using with my O2, I'm just looking for a volume increase & not much more.

Did I goof on this purchase & yes I'm a noobie to Head-Fi thanks.

IMO a Fiio E5 would have been sufficient for your needs.

Yeah a Fiio E5 would have boosted volume quite substantially.

LDM+ is harsh and cold sounding for Etys pairing. Nobody uses LDM+ anymore these days

x4 on E5, x(-4) on LDM+.

I still use LDM+ as my TV volume booster, which seem to be the only thing it is good at (becasue of the long battery life).

I don't imagine you paid a great deal for it. Have you heard it? I would wait until you hear it. If you don't like it sell it and buy something else, after doing more reading. It sometimes takes a while to settle on an amp that will meet your needs.

Thanks for the advice guys, jamato8 you're right I didn't pay much for it. I'll wait till it shows up then see if I want to ditch it or not.

I was actually planning on a ldm myself 2 days ago on account of it's low price. After reading the reviews here though, I ended up ordering a ibasso d2. Completely different price range, but I hope I made the right choice myself.
