Which amp would bring the best sq out of the pk-1's?
The cheaper the better!
Mahalo!

The PK1's are IMO easy to drive, having said that try an iBasso T4.

My OK1s sound great with my T4 and I am sure the PK1s will as well.

Too bad I mostly use my IE8s due to isolation and the "feeling" of security on the go knowing that if the cable dies it's an easy replacement.

I don't think I've heard anyone say that the cable on their yuin (Insert model name here) broke. Little things are built like tanks.

imho i find the t4 makes the pk1's a bit shrill. i really enjoyed my pk1's with the practical devices xm4 w/ad6820 opamp upgrade before i got rid of both of them. that was a pretty balanced match and also warmed up the sound a bit.

I have the Practical Devices XM5 with Yuin PK1 and I feel fine with the sound. I bought the buffer ICs also for the XM5. Nice sound, at least, I have experimented.

You said the cheaper the better but just to put it out there, the PK1 has just beautiful synergy with the HeadAmp Pico.

In my work rig, I use PK1 (for their work-friendly qualities) and have found the RSA SR-71A to enable them to sound so gorgeous that, at the end of my work day, I often stay a song of two (or the rest of an album) longer than I really need to. AND, another modest batch of the SR-71A is available again, according to a very recent post from Ray.
