Purchasing the Venture Electronics VE ZEN, and looking for a portable amp for an iBasso DX50 that could power them.

Any recommendations?

Are you looking for a DAC/amp or just an amp? Will you be driving any other headphones off the amplifier, or just the Zen?

Looking more for a DAC/amp, headphones that'll be driven are Custom Art Music One, Grado SR80i, VE Monk, and the VE ZEN.

(Looking for a DAC/amp preferably the same size as the iBasso DX50)

Budget? (forgot to ask)

 

[Makkenji]

Around $100

Maybe read about and check out the FiiO Q1 and see what you think. It could work for you and it is a bargain. Well-made.

Found the Venture Electronics RunAbout Plus and the BLUE BIRD U6, will either of these be able to drive the VE Zen (320Ω resistance)?
