FiiO E11 or cMoyBB V2.03???

Thread Starter 

I am thinking of buying a portable amp to use with my Nokia 5800 express music (hopefully to be upgraded soon to iPhone) mobile phone and the Senheizer cx300II iems (soon to be upgraded also with I don't know what right now).

I also own SR60's and K701!

Which of the two amps would you suggest?

I listen to classical (a lot of opera), jazz, ethnic...

Depends on what you want to amp to do for you.  If you want a compact size and very clean amp that can also be used as a DAC (digital-analog-converter) with a laptop/computer, then go with the E11.  If you want a strong amp, warmer sound and stronger bass boost, then go with the JDS CMoy.  The E11 has a bass boost, but it doesn't have the depth and punch that the JDS amp.  JDS Cmoy does not have the DAC section that the E11 has, but is a stronger amp than the E11.

Are you thinking of the E7? E11 has no DAC.

Yup, E11 is a pure amp, anyways if I'm not wrong aren't K701's demons to drive? so don't bother with the CMOY if so. The E11 is a very clean amp indeed while offering decent amount of power. 

 

EDIT: Saw some RMAAs of CMOYBB, way better than E11s. http://wwenze.blogspot.com/2011/03/jds-labs-cmoybb-v203-review.html

^ well actually he is talking for e7 for sure... :)

Acording to  headfonia review the e11 is much stronger than the cMoy but the sound is not as good!

So you just want to amp your CX300 and SR60? Save the cash, they'll be fine without amping--especially once you get your iPhone.

No as I said in my first post I am planing to upgrade my iems in order to make a better portable rig... I am thinking something like hifi man re1 or re0

the iPhone is going to come last

Also the sr60 benefit a lot when connected to my e9 so I tend to believe that an amp is needed even for phones that are not supposed to be difficult to drive

Between those two, unless you're trying to drive 600ohm cans, JDSLabs by a wide margin.
