AKG K701, and .........

I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of threads that are asking these, but....

Which amp that costs less than $130 can power the AKG K 701 well?
So far, my choices are the:

 

FiiO E9

FiiO E11

Little-Dot MK1

 

Which would be better? I know that the E9 is highly regarded as a budget amp for the K701, but the lack of battery is an issue. If the E11 is at least close to the E9, then its a great deal.

Save another $30-$50 bucks and pick up a used M-stage in the marketplace.  Great investment.  Its not a portable(although I do bring it from room to room) but powers the K701/K702 family well.

@gustav: I've heard a lot about the M-stage, although I would really appreciate a rechargeable amp, because I do travel with my headphones around, sometimes.

@charli: I have an Onkyo receiver at home that my dad uses. They might be my secondary option to use at home.
