I'm currently using Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 with my Zune 120. I'm looking for a good amp, on the cheaper side ($70 or less) since it will be my first amp purchase.  I was looking at the Fiio E11 on Amazon since it's just over $60 and seems to have good reviews.  Would anyone recommend anything different?

I recommend either the E6 or E5 which will be good enough for the TF10s. I own the E6 and E11 and I fine the E11's output to be pretty noisy for the TF10.

I know my Zune doesn't have the same LOD output that the ipods do.  Does that make a difference in sound quality with the amp?

Actually you do not need a amp to pair with the Zune and TF10, you will want to go ampless since the Zune has no LOD for it. But if you must have one, the E6 or E5 would be good. An LOD simply bypasses the internal amp to feed a line level signal to the external amp to avoid double amping.

Oh, ok.  That's good to know.  Thanks, I'll go without one.
