Anyway, I'm planning to buy the CmoyBB from JDSLab, do you guys think it's a good amp?

I think you can find your answer here (click).

FiiO E6 was and still is my very first headphone amp. I was in need of decent inexpensive headphone amp to use at office with my android phone and full sized headphones (Samson SR850). I stumbled upon this thread and review and I was sold. Ordered my unit right away. I still use E6 every day.

I am amazed by the quality of this product. It has a fantastic synergy with both the jvc harx700 and the koss sportapro's. 

Both seem to have more treble (as well as bass, as well as midrange), which seems to contradict common sense: how can there be MORE of everything if I am listening at the same volume (confirmed with an spl meter)? I was also shocked to discover that the E6 has a completely flat frequency response curve.

The only possible explanation then, is that this tiny amplifier brings out all of the available information (or at least a lot more of it) from both your source and headphones. 

As a result, I am now seriously contemplating buying a fiio E11.

The only misstep I've encountered so far is that the fiio does not pair very well with a pair of igrado's I also have. The fiio brings out far too much of the treble on the igrado's, resulting in a rather exaggerated treble response. However, the fiio is absolutely fantastic with slightly darker or neutral headphones.
