As the title suggests, I'm looking for a portable amp that has the same sound technicalities (or better) than the O2 amp.   I know the O2 officially is portable, but I'm looking for an amp to stack my DX50 on.  The JDS C5 forms a very nice stack with the DX50, but I'm not convinced about its...

So I finally found the time to write a review on the Cosmic Ears BA4f cIEMs!     The BA4f with the Ice Blue color     Short History Before I started my journey into the cIEM world, I knew it was going to be tricky for me. My ears are very small, and there's an extreme bend in my ear...
