Hi all,
This is my first post so excuse my newbness.
I'm looking to buy my first portable headphone amp, and I'm a little bewildered by the conflicting choices.
These are the cans I own:
- Alessandro ms-1
- Soundmagic pl-30
- Sennheiser px-100
- Sennheiser px-200
- Etymotic er-6
- Yuin PK3
My source will mainly be a 5th gen classic ipod, but it's a bonus if I can use it with my work PC and home hifi too if it's up to the job.
I'd like to keep it under $100, but the lower the better as I'm on a budget. The amps I'm considering are:
- PA2V2
- Little Dot Micro+
- Fiio E1 (just for ipod I know) or E5
- Micro cmoy (the 9 volt battery puts me off a bit)
- This: Headphone amp - TI chip! - HAMMOND CASE- RECHARGABLE - eBay Other Amplifiers, Amplifiers, Audio, Electronics. (end time 14-Jan-10 19:34:32 AEDST) (I've heard bad things about this particular TI chip, which put me off a little)
Does anyone have any experience with these using these phones?
I live in Australia so availability of some of the nicer US amps are somewhat limited to me unless I want to add another $50 for shipping.
Thanks a million in advance for your advice
