A have thrown away my skullcandy and beats and opened the world of good headphones with the Koss dj100s, i enjoy listening to them but I hear of these "amps" for headphones that make them sound better, please tell me of good amps that are cheap that I can also use with a ipod classic 7 generation 160g.

If you like bassiness, the $60 CMoyBB 2.03 from JDS Labs has a nice bass boost circuit activated by a switch inside the amp. It's a good all-around amplifier, too.

What's your price range? If you're looking for a budget amp a fiio E11 plus a LOD is good:

I would go with the cMoyBB v2.03 or the Fiio E11. I use the cMoyBB personally and I find that it really gives a much cleaner and smoother sound to my headphones.

My price range is somewhere around 60$ and lower, I just dont want to spend 100$ because thats just like buying another pair of headphones.

 

[Kossinater101]

Hows is the FiiO 11 ?

 

[Kossinater101]

Well, the kosses could use a little more base, and also I always have to put my music on max because the ipod doent have much power to drive the kosses if you know what I am saying.

The E6 will do a basic job of making the sound louder (the base goal of an amp), whereas the E11 or CMoyBB will add more sonic quality to the music, not just volume.

 

[Kossinater101]

So basically the E6 isn't as good as the E11 or cmoys yet are cheaper, well also wanted to respond by say that I listen to a lot of electronic, such as KAVINSKY, or COM TRUISE, so you guys should listen to that at youtube and tell what will make such music sound better on a pair of yet-to-be burn headphones.

 

[Kossinater101]

A prefect example of what I listen to is "Kavinsky- Nightcall" and "Com Truise- Slow Peels"

This may help with your decision.

Im surprised no one has suggested the PA2V2. Look it up. Might be what you want.

 

[Kossinater101]

Ya, so I really like the cMoys, those E11s are pretty cheap, and I did some reseach here on Head-fi and found out that those PA2V2s are really popular. Oh man so many choices., also what pads should I get for my DJ1000s because the stock one are SO uncomfortable.

M50 pads are commonly used.

Not the best, but I like the Fiio E5. Somehow it seems to sound best with the DJ100 when I DON'T use it with a LOD cable. I had the same experience with my Total Airhead.
If you get an amp that's too warm, sometimes it's not a good match for the DJ100. The PA2V2 is on my list to try.
 
The DJ100 definitely DOES benefit from a desktop amp too. Sounds good from the large 1/4" jack on the E9 despite the 10ohm output. It doesn't seem to effect the sound.
 
 
Has anyone tried the E10 with the DJ100? I think someone mentioned it's a darker sounding dac/amp and might not play well with the DJ100. Not sure about this..
