hi,
 
I am using ex600 as my earphone to which i listen to most of the time , for source i am using teclast t51 and my iphone 4s. Recently i plugged it in my friends iphone 5s ,and the difference i saw was that all the instruments were more solidly presented compared to my other two sources, for eg the same amount of bass had more impact on my ear this is what i am looking for , now that can only be possible because of a good amp section. I want an amp that can do that for under 100$ if worth i can pull it to 150$. from what i have shortlisted are :-
 
1. Pa2v2
2. cmoybb
3. fiio e12a/ fiio a5
4.soundmagic a10
 
some more expensive ones :-
 
1. jds c421
2. jds c5
 
help me out.

You're using an amplifier after an amplifier? Why?

If you're talking about Sony MDREX600, IEM's don't generally need a whole lot of power to drive. If you want to try a really cheap option just to see if an amp will help you can always try the fiio  a1. It's only about 27 usd. I use one in between my Nexus 6 and my Shure SE215's at work, and they pack plenty of punch for the price, and it's rather discrete, although they are a bit more susceptible to noise. It also has a couple of Bass Boost options that can make quite the difference as well.
 
An A5 is actually about 130usd (above you're 100 dollar mark), but I'd recommend the Fiio A3. It's only 60 USD and at half the price of the A5 it would do everything you need and should still have plenty of power.
