I was wondering if anyone has and recommendations for an amp that will be used with the Micca Mb42x? I would like to spend under $100. I have had a Lepai in the past and would really like to get something a little better. I will be using this as a desktop set up so something smaller would be better, although if it was really good i could probably find room for a larger amp.
 
 
Thanks!

Here are some i have been looking at:
 
 

AudioSource AMP-100   

 
 
SMSL SA50 50WX2    
 
 
Topping TP20-MK2 MKII

Topping makes good equipment in terms of price/performance.

SMSL's stuff may be cheaper than Topping, but they have a reputation for poor build quality/reliability.

Before buying Audiosource, I'd get a used Onkyo, Denon, Pioneer, or Yamaha audio/video receiver or stereo receiver off Craigslist.

For digital amps, also look at Indeed.

Yeah, i think the SMSL and Audiosorce is out for now.
 
 
I think i might end up getting the Topping Tp22. It is a bit more expensive than the Tp20, but it looks very nice. The other one in the same price range is the Dayton Audio DTA-120. 
 
Thanks

For the price of the TP22, also look at this Indeed with more power: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-2014-Indeed-Class-D-TDA7498E-160WX2-Stereo-Amplifier-Silver-36V5A-adapter-/291074063041 (there is a black model as well). Peter Cheung makes nice stuff

It looks like  it's a toss up between the TP22 and the Indeed. I guess i have some thinking to do.
 
 
Thanks a lot for your input.
