It's about as simple as the title states.
I'm trying to look for a basic (sub $120 USD, if I can get away with it) portable amp. I've looked into a few companies and some reviews here and I've considered the Z-Audio Mu, the Mini-Box D, Visely HEA-1 (if I can get a hold of it), and possibly the Headroom Total Airhead. Now, the hard part would be that I know little of, well, anything regarding amps, so I'm a bit in the dark here. I'd be using them with a iPod, and with AKG K301 Xtra's, or either the HD 595s or DT 770's (880's if any of these amps would work well enough with them). I plan on purchasing one of the two latter headphones, alongside with an Amp. The one thing that confuses me, is how you would go about charging the battery in the Mu. I see no input for a DC plug. That is the one I'm considering the most, since it seems the most logical option, as I keep reading bad things about the Airhead.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated, and I honestly apologize if I put this in the wrong section, or if there are stickies/other threads I'm not seeing that I should read.
Thanks.
