Since the imod blows away the Ipod/Cryo Dock), I was wondering how the Iriver/amp (no dac) would fare against the Imod/amp. Anyone?

What canalphones will go well with my H140 and an amp? Is the improvement in sound quality justifiable for me to amp my Shures e3c from my Iriver H140, because they sound mighty fine the way they are now... Lastly, do amps actually help if your source is coming from 128kbps MP3s.... some...
