Hi everyone.
So, I am building my own CIEM's, and I've found that I now can hear hiss on all my sources - this has to be dealt with.
I've never owned any dedicated AMP or DAC so I am completely new to this.

My budget is somehow limited - though with convincing of waiting and saving I will do that.
But around 100USD seems to be a point I am more comfortable at ATM.
 
Requirements:
Well, since my issue now is hiss it has to be as black in sound as Vantablack is in optics

I have Denon AH-D2000 and CIEM's - so no power hungry headphones here.

Portability is a plus but not a must - not yet at least.

I am really thankful for all the help I can get - it is a jungle for me out there and I need a guide!

A good place to start for a portable amp/DAC under $100 is the Fiio Q1.

Thank you
I will check it out, just a shame it can be so hard to find a dealer here in Denmark - I like to try out before I buy stuff.

I'm on the same boat, been reading about FiiO E17k, but I don't know if is price/performance worth it because my best IEM are Fidue A83 and my main source are PC/laptop.
