Probably not, but they don't need an amp to sound their best. I have not worn mine for much more than an hour or 2 at one time. They are comfortable for me for that long, but certainly not as comfortable as my DT880 or HD590. I sort of doubt that I could wear them for 8 or 10 hours, but I'm not sure. I don't know about true IEMs, but I could wear my EP630 or CX300 all day and not be uncomfortable. I have never tried them, but the DT770 with an amp sound like a good choice. Just lower the bass on the DAP if necessary. For an amp, I see the TAH is down to $149 again, but the Gilmore Lite is a bargain at $299 IMHO.
Edit: I just noticed that he is running off XM. Since there is no convenient volume control, at least with my SkyFi2, a PA2V2 or TAH would probably be good choices.
