Will an FiiO E7 amp noticeably improve my Re0's sound output on both my desktop and Ipod?

I recently bought the Re0's and although I'm enjoying them, I feel like I need more bass and maybe a better *feel* from them. I've been looking into getting an amp for them, and so far the E7 has peaked my interest. 

 

My main question is, will there be a noticeable difference on both my ipod and desktop from using the E7? And if so, would it be worth the $90 price tag? 

 

My music taste is very wide, I listen to just about everything, though I mainly listen to electronic, pop, and rock. 

 

I have an 80gb ipod classic 5th gen that I use for all my portable music needs. When I'm at home, I usually listen to music through my desktop pc which I use mainly for gaming. This is why the E7's peaked my interest, I currently use the integrated sound card in this: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-002232-Gaming-Keyboard-G110/dp/B002RRLQIO keyboard on my computer. 

 

So to sum everything up: is the E7 worth the money when paired with the Re0's? Is there a better option than the E7? Would the E7 work with my keyboard? 

 

Thanks for any opinions and answers!

Noticable is relative to your wants and your ears' ability to hear the difference.  I found really nothing under $200 that would give the RE0 the bass impact and thickness I felt it needed.  It did improve SOME with more power, but the fullness of bass notes just never did come for me.

 

Also, IMO, the amp section of the E7 is not very strong.  You might look into the new iBasso D-Zero amp/DAC.  It is supposed to be more powerful than the E7.

RE0 pairs well with warm amps. You could also try comply tips to improve bass. E7 is good enough for the RE0.

I found they work well with the DigiZoid.

Well the Ibasso D-Zero looks pretty good, but searching around I found some info on the e17 that is releasing in january. I'm thinking maybe I should wait and see what the e17 offers in comparison to the D-zero and e7. Thoughts?
