Yes, I want jump into the dark side, the balanced amp.

Any suggests for my next amp?

I hope they must be samll size can put in backpack(Supra is too big for moving), sound should be as same level as Supra(Oops~ still high costs.

).

No DAC1 or DA10, I don't like the sound of them.

I've do some research, Rudi's NX33 is a small one. But NO ONE have them in my country I think.

Don´t be afraid to buy directly from Rudi´s homepage.
I bought my RP7-B there (no dealer in my country either).
It was very easy and Rudi is very nice to deal with.
I havn´t heard the NX-33,but I bet its as good as the RP7-B.

you can also look at headroom. they make the home balanced amp (15.5"x15.5"x5, $2300 starting price) and max balanced amp (15.5"x15.5"x5.25", $4000 starting price).

I hear they (Headroom) may be coming out with a ballanced desk top around Christmas time anyone else hear that? $1500/$2000 range.

I've got the NX-33 and think it's great and I've really appreciated the balanced Senn 650s since I've had it.

You don't mention how you will be running it or with which headphones. Although it can connect to a single ended source and has a standard headphone out too it's best if you feed it with a balanced source for balanced output.

It may be small enough to be transportable but it is mains powered so it's not a portable unit.

It also has one major advantage over others mentioned - the price.

in a italian forum(videohifi.com\forum\cuffie) many users have the nx33, they're very happy, comparing it up to the rp1000. it's a very good solution for what they say.

Agree.
I have tried Stevie's NX33 last week end and really liked it with the balanced 650. Also if you need to transport it, it is the best balanced solution IMO

They're uncolor and a little bit dry for me.
If I've one of them, I would add a tube amp to mix the sound.

I think Earmax will match with them, like your rig.
