I was thinking about getting the Grado 80e as I listen to mostly rock music and I hear these don't really need an amp. However I'm using them for on the go so they'll be getting driven mostly by a Sansa Clip+ or Lumia 920 (which I hear has poor audio quality, hence the Clip+, well, also the Clip+ can play FLAC files) and I'm not sure if they'd need an amp to fully get them going.
If I did get an amp, say the FiiO E6 (or should I get E11?), would an amp like that give the extra boost my little DAP needs to fully utilize the 80e? Or would it just be a wash performance wise?
Considering the low price of the E6, I may get them anyways but ONLY if they provide at least a mildly decent performance difference.
