Hello, I recently get an Heir Audio 4A CIEM and I want to pair it with an portable headphone amp. Looking to decide between Headstage Arrow 12HE 4G vs. Leckerton UHA-6S MKII Portable Headphone Amplifier. Can better minds than me weigh in? Thanks a lot...

Hi.  I have a pair of Marty custom woodies with Magnum v4 drivers currently being crafted by Marty and an keen on an amp, and possibly a DAC.  I would like an Alo Continental V2 with the Solo DAC but it's a tad to expensive for me right now.   Should I get a Leckerton 63 MK3 or the Alo...

  Hi,   I have a Headsave META42 and when I plug in any number of headphones (TF10, HA-S500, Brainwavz M4), I can hear a hissing/buzzzing sound, when I have no signal running through it. I am sure the sound is there when I play music but obviously I can't hear it anymore. What causes this...

I'm finding the sound a bit flat when i use the microphone thingy the Nokia comes with, but the sound is surprisingly good without it, even from a old cheap phone as the Nokia 5800 Music express. So if i'm going to enjoy the headphones with more then my laptop i might need a amp, but i'm sort of...

Is the reason why many who use a portable amp choose an i-device due to the LOD? And, the LOD is a more clean output Vs. headphone out?   Which Sony model will accomodate this LOD cable and does the Sony using a LOD produce as clean signal as an i-device?

can the E17 be used to  as a amp/dac on the ipod or just as an amp? thanks

I am looking at getting either the Sennheiser hd25-iis or the hd598s for my first pair of mid-fi headphones. I was wondering what portable headphone amp would work good out of an ipod or computer. Any recommendations are welcome.

Hello Everyone.   I know this question has been asked before, and I have read those threads, but I want to ask for myself and find an answer for my specific headphones.   I just got some Sony MDR-XB700's, And I want a nice headphone amp for them. Semi-portable with battery capability...

Hi guys,   Recently, I heard this amp and I saw this amp has many great reviews, so I'm interested in it. Is anybody knew something about this amp's real ability and style?

So I think I'm going to end up buying the dt-770 as my first nice set of headphones :). I'm going to be using them to listen to hip-hop, rap, rock, metal, dub-step, a heap of stuff as well as gaming. Due to the fact that they will also be used for gaming I am thinking of going with the mixamp...

Trying to simplify my setup now.  Want a portable Amp/Dac for traveling with my laptop and then when I am at home, just output it to a desktop amp via RCA for bigger headphones.  Only two I know is the U-Dac2 and Ibasso D7.  D7 has a quality DAC chip, but I heard it is flaky with driver issue...

Just received this afternoon, can't say I have spent enough time with it but it is enough for pictures and some first impression. Here is brief introduction to E02i - it is an inline mic + remote for iDevice with amp and bass boost. This mean not only you get to to control your iDevice from it...

Hi guys   My current set up is an iPod Touch 3G -> Predator -> Jh16 I just got a pay raise, and coupled with my accumulated savings, i was wondering if i should start looking around and trying out something new. I love my jh16's and predator to bits, but have become very very intrigued by...

Hello,   What is a good amp for Westone 4R under 500 dollars? I listen to mainly rocky and classical music. 

Hi, I just purchased the AKG K240 MKII headphones and they sound unbelievable (except for some cracklig noises at times, but I think it's from the songs I was listening to [also one of them was being watched from youtube]). What I would like to know is what would a great amp be for under $100...

How big of a difference will I see in the lows with a CLAS+Pico with iPhone 4S / Sansa Clip+ ? Should I spend the extra money and get the Rx MK3? I don't care about the cost as much as I care about portability and punchy bass, good vocals is a plus. Considered Mustang for vocals but I read that...

Hi all,   I'm pretty new to amps, so I'm not really sure what to do. I'd like an amp for my headphones to enhance my listening experience but I'm not sure what to get. I've narrowed it down to two choices though, the Fiio E11 and the Fiio E7.   I know they're both portable amps, which is...

Title says it all, what is the best Amp (preferably portable) for the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro's 250 ohm for around $60.   So far the Fiio E11 is on the top of the list, but I barely know anything about Amps.   Cheers

I have decided on getting the Audio Technica ATH-M50s, and now I have to decide on an amp. I want the amp to have a built in DAC, since I am still using my motherboards built in sound. I like the idea of the FiiO E7, but I have heard that its non-DAC counterpart, the E11 has superior...
