Hi, i've bought a nice pair of AKG K240 MKII and i want primarly use them with my mp3 player, a Creative Zen Vision:M (30mW output per channel).
But i noticed that when i use the AKGs with my player, they tend to loose response on low frequencies, while the hight frequencies are emphatized;
this doesn't happen on my PC or notebook, although they haven't very good audio board, so i think it's primarly a power output problem.
I'm searching for a cheap amp, that can decently drive my AKGs.
I'm thinking to buy a Fiio E5, if it can be good enough for the purpose.
Alternatively, can a Cmoy amp (of those sold on Ebay) be sufficient?
Other (more expensive) options are:
iBasso T4;
Pratical Devices XM4;
but they are much expensive and i should prefer something cheaper, because this year i really bought a lot of expensive stuff (Shure SCL2, SE420, SE530
and now AKG k240) and now i've not so much money for a headphone amp.
I should consider iBasso, XM4 (or other better amp you can suggest me) only if a Fiio E5 or Cmoy aren't really suitable to drive my AKGs.
Any suggestion? Really need help, i'm not too much into portable headphone amps...
