^This.
Back on topic is the bass boost on the e11k any good? I'm looking for a port amp with a legit bass boost feature for when I want to enter beast mode with my m50x

No it isn't. It only boosts the kick drum frequency and causes it to become rather uncontrolled. Damn near any other amp with a bass boost would be better. Actually the fiio e6 has a wicked bass boost to show the "you shoulda bought beats" kids how it's done.

Thanks for the tip.
Edit: Know anything with a good bass boost that would be an upgrade to the nx1?

Seems to be based on a modified RA-1 circuit.

Might be an interesting boutique amp for driving Grados?

Any info about the brand ''Imarku''??
They have this IEM BT 4.0 that is well reviewed on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Wireless-Headphones-Hands-Free-Microphone/dp/B00S7ZXO9E/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1423049041&sr=1-1&keywords=imarku+bluetooth+4.0
I wonder if it's a better choice than Bluedio S3?

One of the many Chinese BT peripheral manufacturers that don't get their stuff qualified by Bluetooth SIG or pay for the membership. They make some of the really cheap BT headsets and nowadays wearables. 
 
Speaking of, has anyone noticed these "Bluetooth 4.0" headphones hardly ever use Bluetooth 4.0? I have literally just seen one pair, which used Bluetooth 4.0 to display the remaining battery of the headphones on your phone.

Yep, I've noticed. It's like manufacturers are just using it as a marketing buzzword or something.

So you will go for the Bluedio S3?
I can't decide between a chinese BT 4.0 unit like the S3 and a Sony SBH50 which is BT 3.0, do you think there is a difference in audio quality between 3.0 and 4.0?

Get a local DIY made O2 amp or O2 and ODAC amp/dac. You will be SET for a long time. Its better to the get the amp and dac separately that way the O2 amp can be used portably with a battery. Good for laptops and such.

Good idea, but she knows nothing about amps and stuff, so it will be difficult get her understand what I am searching for...
 
I found this online: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.10.ryadKD&id=19995974737&ns=1&abbucket=5#detail
 
Maybe that would also be suitable. Thanks for suggestion!
