Anybody have any recommendations? I'll be using them with the ATH M-50's

The only amps I've ever heard about are fiio's. Could someone recommend a model to use it with? or if there's a better brand out there let me know.
 
Thanks in advanced.

do you DIY?

If so get a 35USD MIU audio MC1 kit and a LME49720 NA opamp. I find it really good.

Here's an excellent article that should provide you with more info.

Fiio E11 has bass boost, but do you really need that for M50s?

If you can find an used Fiio E17 in good condition, you'd certainly be able to get one for around the $100 mark. I've had mine for a six months now and am very happy with it. The simple onboard equalizer function is very handy.
