I know that these threads are very common and as I type there are two other threads about pairing amps with the Re0. However, I don't want to hijack another persons thread so I'm making my own.

Through searching and reading through numerous threads, I find that the most common suggestion is the iBasso T3 followed by the Fiio E5. I hear though that if I can spend more money on an amp, always go for something other thatn the E5 so that rules that amp out.

I have specific questions about particular amps that I might be able to buy that haven't been mentioned much or at all.

If you have had any experience with these other amps, how does the most common suggestion (T3) compare to:
cMoy
Micro Cmoy headphone amp - Opamp 2227 - Amplifier - eBay Other, Headphones, Headsets, A V Accessories Cables, Electronics. (end time 19-Feb-10 23:00:59 AEDST)

cMoyBB
Bass Boost cMoy v2.02 Amp - Premium Headphone Amplifier - eBay, Other, Portable Audio Video, Electronics. (end time 23-Feb-10 12:50:13 AEDST)

Minibox e (not e+)
Minibox E HiFi portable headphone amp - eBay Other Amplifiers, Amplifiers, Audio, Electronics. (end time 18-Feb-10 19:37:26 AEDST)

Are there any other suggestions?
I also know of the mini3, where can I find one prebuilt?
I have also seen very small DIY LOD's around here, is there someone i can contact to build one for at a good price?

My budget would be ~$150 AUD which is pushing it.

My cmoy doesn't really help my RE0's. It's about a 2-3% improvement overall and only noticeable with a few songs. Haven't heard any other amps, but just thought I'd throw that out there.

I like my cmoyBB with RE0. This week I tried adding impedance (UE attenuation cable) I know, I know...WHY? I was just goofing around, but I really liked the results: clearer bass, with slightly more impact. At least, when using the bass boost on the cmoy.
