So its time for an amp to the setup, proper LOD on the way too.

What would be a good general amp for any kind of music, an ipod and a pair of Triple.Fi`s for around 100-200 bucks?

iBasso T4 is great for 109 if you want a small amp.
iBasso D2 is a good Amp/DAC for 160, but I would say to look into the NuForce Icon Mobile if you are considering it. It's only 100 and the threat about it has around 440 posts.
Minibox is 229 (I think) and has great SQ.
iBasso P3 can roll opamps so you can change the sound to your liking.

I'm actually looking for the exact same thing, with the exact same setup (160GB iPod, Triple.Fis)

I'm curious though, what kind of LOD cable did you get / what do you guys recommend?

Im getting "qusp" here on the forum to build me a custom one, ask him, seems pro and renowned.

Speaking of, what amps do you anyone here end up using in a practical sense? There is always a better amp for a certain kind of use and genre. But an allround, kick ass, durable and allround good SQ amp? Not too coloured soundwise?

I did the same exercise a short while ago.

I had an iPod 160GB classic and some Triple.Fi's at the time.

After some research I decided on an iBasso D3 + LOD + Cable ( all from iBasso ). I'd never had an amp before and this one seemed the best for the money.

Then I sold the TF's, I wanted a Ray Samuels Audio P-51 Mustang then I thought about the exchange rate and the import taxes. Not a good idea. Then I considered an iQube but they never seem to have any, and they're expensive too.

I finally went for a Meier 3Move. I didn't really want an amp with a DAC ( also bought a V-DAC for home use ), but the 3Move gets a really good ratings around here so I went for it.
