Best amp for IEM's

I have the Fiio E11 and love it. Works great with my GR07's and EPH-100's. Paired with an iPod Nano. 

I would research what will match well with your IEM's.  What sound do they have and what sound do you hope for.  Base your amp choice by the sound signature you are seeking.  Something warmer, go for the TTVJ, cooler, the ALO RX MKII.  If size and shape isn't as important look at the RSA amps.  The have a heavier bass, but still very clean.  And their balanced amps are great.  But the shape can create a clumsy bundle to carry with you.   That's why I like the slim amps. But if you are only trying to power IEM's then look at the Pico Slim or the headstage arrow.  I haven't tried the last two.  And I certainly haven't tried all of the RSA Amps.  Or for $60 try the JD Labs altoid amps. 

I have a Fiio E11 and love it...but what really makes my etymotics sound fantastic is the Digizoid ZO2. The current version has an amp in it and the etys love the smart vector bass effect.

UHA4, Pico Slim as they have digital pots with lots of control and low volume listening without channel imbalance.

In that price range I would say your best options would be the Corda XXS/Headsix, IBasso D2+ Boa or a used RSA Tomahawk.

What IEM(s) do you plan on using it with?

I've heard great things about the NwAvGuy O2 amp and it's well south of $200.
