Hey all!
First time looking for a portable amp. I probably have a budget of $100-150. Right now I have the Etymotic ER4P. All of these amps are in that price range and I've read of a lot for some of them with the ER4P/S. I'm open to any ideas which is best. (A lot of the good recommendations for the Minibox are for the E+ and not the ES; I'm not sure if there is any difference in sound quality...)
I'd prefer something that is neutral and doesn't color the sound. If it were to color, a little warmness/bass wouldn't be a horrible thing. I definitely don't want anything that is brighter than current!
Thanks for the advice!
 
(As mentioned below, this is an old thread, so some of you have already given advice!)

Bump for advice...
 
Also curious about which would go nicely w/ the triple.fi.

From what I have read Minibox ES is great for ER4S, and I have the TF10 and in my opinion it does not need amping!
 
PS:Head direct is having a winter deal right now, by the mini and receive a free RE0 which is not bad at all~ You might not even need to buy a new IEM after all

Seconding that the TF10s don't need amping. You might as well put that money into another set of IEM/cans/DAC as the price/improvement curve would be fairly sharp at this point. They're ridiculously easy to drive...

Ha! This was an old thread. Triple.fi are easy to drive and have actually been sold for months now.
 
At this point, I'll probably wait to hear some reports about the E11.

This was replied to just recently, so since it was bumped, I tweaked the title and current situation.

hehe nice tweak. I say for overall performane  Corda is future proof, but right now the mini is great value due to RE0 been given for free
