i got the asus xonar stx like 2 weeks ago. now i am addicted to the sound.
 
using iphone 3gs and have samsung s3.
 
is there a best value for money headphone amp that i can put in pocket or taped to the back of the cell phone and can produce sound same as the stx?
 
have portapro, monster turbine copper, ath-ad700, beyer dt1350 and sony ma900 (on the way)
 
give me some cheaper options then give me some expensive options. money is not too much a concern.
 
i read somewhere people said the $5 ones you can make at home is same as the expensive ones?

Not sure what "matches" the STX (which I own) sound in a portable amplifier.
But the Fiio E11 (which I own) should be more then enough to drive your headphones.
Technically the Fiio E11 should do a better job of driving your low impedance (Ohm) headphones, then the STX.

like sound clarity gets boosted with the e11 too yeah? I was just looking into this one today. seems like very popular.
