Which portable amp for Fischer DBA-02 other than Mystify?

I want to get the most out of my beloved Fischer DBA-02 feed by Rockboxed 5.5 gen Ipod, but unfortunately the Mystify amp is out of my reach right now (and lack of availability as I have read).

I have read nice things about Ibasso amps but have no idea which model would be the best for DBAs.

So, if I could get an amp for around $200 which would enhance DBA's soundstage and clarity I would be in audio bliss!!!

Almost forgot, any recommendation on LOD cable to go along will be greatly appreciated

best regards

Jose

If you're looking for a nice budget amp, I hear good things about the FiiO E7.  The E7/E9 combo looks good too.

I am a big fan of the CMOYBB v2.02 on ebay. $69 shipped CONUS, bass boost feature, excellent piece for the money. Check out the ebay seller's page, which is very detailed. Have owned other amps, but none delivered the price to performance ratio of the CMOYbb, IMHO.

Thanks for the info on CMOYBB. I'll look into it.

Does this unit provide battery recharge via USB? thanks

It uses 9V battery, so you can use a rechargeable 9V, but no, you can't recharge it via usb. Also, you can run it via power supply (no battery needed). This is from the ebay description.

 

 

 

DC Auxiliary Power Input Jack

Any linear-regulated 9-24V DC power adapter with a 2.5mm submini jack can be used to power the cMoyBB amplifier. Plugging in a DC power supply automatically and safely disconnects the 9V battery (it is not a charging circuit).

 

I do not not sell or include AC/DC adapters. However, each amplifier shipment includes documentation to purchase a DC adapter for as little as $10 in North America.

I like my Arrow w/ the DBAs.  If you can afford the iBasso P4 warbler and want ot play w/ rolling opamps check it out.  It looks quite solid and powerful enough to drive some serious headphones if you wanted to.
