I've recently bumped up my budget on a portable amp and I'm down to basically these three choices;
-iBasso T4 ($131)
-Practical Devices XM4 ($152)
-Nuforce Icon Mobile ($105)
[size=xx-small]Prices have shipping included.[/size]
I'm having a hard time deciding between these three. I mean, they all have benefits over the others (and the XM4 comes with what looks like a nice mini-mini cable), but I don't really know how these sound.
I would ideally like a boost in bass as well as increased clarity overall.
I have a FiiO E3 but I don't really like how it sounds, it seems to make the bass a bit overpowering without really improving the overall sound quality. Maybe muffled or muddy would be the word.
I'll be using an iPod Touch 2G (with LOD) for my source most of the time and I usually listen to rap and some classic rock, but most other genres are mixed in occasionally. Maybe hook it up to PSP/PC and play DJ Max too.
If you have experiences with any of these and can give insight or comparisons between them, that would be great. Recommendations are also welcome.
