at the moment i'm thinking about:
-FiiO E7, E10 or E11 (the DAC sounds pretty nice although not 100% necessary for me)
-Soundmagic A-10
-JDS Labs CMoyBB
+ any other suggestions
sound quality is definitely the most important factor (looking for a smooth, warm and more detailed sound with a wider soundstage) but I'm pretty skint atm so the cheaper the better (my budget is around £100). I don't have much experience with amps (apart from a FiiO E5 which isn't great) so I don't know how much of a difference they would make for me but if possible I just want something that can make a significant difference in quality for as cheap as possible :D
If anyone has owned any of these (or has better suggestions), advice would be appreciated
(I use a pair of Grado sr80i's and usually listen from pc (via an old Technics stack amp) or from a sony 'nwz A845b' mp3player)

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...
