Any Advice on a portable amp to drive Fostex TP50RP MK3 with Colorfly C3?
I basically picked up the colorfly to listen to these away from my PC, but my FIIO A3 can't drive the fostex properly, not enough juice.
Any one have any advice on an amp that pairs well with the colorfly that has enough juice for the TP50s?

I run my T50RP MK2 from a FiiO E12, not with the C3 but with the FiiO X3.
Since the E12 is discontinued the A5 will fit the bill.

Nice, thanks. A5 looks decent and was about to grab one when I saw the Cayin C5. Now I'm on the fence
. I suppose you like the A5 with the T50s? I found when using the A3 the soundstage seemed to be a bit squished and muddled. I don't think its the C3, - just using the colorfly C3 directly to a pair of cheap panasonic ear bugs, I get a better soundstage than with the C3/A3 -> T50 combo.
I imagine that mostly is because the A3 is underpowered for the T50s, so trying not to judge based on that, though a consistent comment about the Cayin C5 is nice detail and wider soundstage. Just wondering how the A5 holds up.

I think it only matters what you upload to the C3. I have all my rips with tags (since I use them on other devices that can use the tags), but I stripped the tags with foobar before uploading to C3 and it works great.

I also have the E11K (A3 predecessor) that I use with my C3, I like an analog volume control and it fits the size of the C3 nicely. The T50rp's do require a bit of power to come alive, which is why I run them on the E12 or E09K/E17 desktop combo.
Have you modified your T50rp's? I applied a version of the BMF DBV 3 mod to mine and it has really improved upon the stock sound.
All mods are in the FIMM thread.
This is what my MK2's look like now.

I just bought a C3 last night even though this thread was started 4 years ago. Hopefully, the C3 enables me to listen to Bandcamp music (and know who the band is) vs the Walnut v2 (waiting for it in the mail), which wouldn't.

Guys, i ve been using C3 for the last 6 months now and been more than satisfyed with the overall sound outcome... and haven't stripped down the tags from any of my files (WAV,MP3FLAC files)
All of those files are very well reproduced with tags on,so didnt feel the need to stripped them down...The background is almost black there no surprising unexpected bakground noise
Is stripping the tags from any files there obligatory due to some reason i am not aware of? Please any of you having any info on this feel free to comment on this one....

If you don't feel the need that it needs to be done, just be happy, that it doesn't.
I think people were mainly doing this because they noticed some problems with excess noise that shouldn't be there.

No need to strip the tags if you are having good results. Trust me you would know if there was a problem.
