Hi, I recently bought an Asus 1015PX and everything sounds so tinny and poor from the headphone port. I am using three headphones (HF5, HD 555, AH-D5000) and I want to use the HF5 for portable use. I'd prefer a device that could fit in the HF5's carrying case. What do I need, an amp or a DAC or both?

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

How much are you willing to pay? I'm new to headfi so I may not be the best person to talk to but if your trying to go cheap and portable you can get a usb sound card. Turtlebeach has one for $25 and its suppose to power the headphones much better without noise from the internal components of the netbook. I don't have any experience with these those.

I don't know if it would fit in your HF5's carrying case, but http://www.head-fi.org/t/483191/fiio-e7-review is a good DAC/amp. You didn't specify a budget so I went with something that isn't too pricy.
