Hi I was wondering what would be a good dac/amp for me to buy.
I'm looking for a portable dac/amp that can be used with a laptop and desktop and I have ~$200 to spend.
 
I've been considering the following:
Audinst HUD-MX1
FiiO E7+E9
uDAC
FiiO E11
A majority of my music is either female vocal heavy or dubstep/trance/techno, so I think I'm looking for gear that emphasizes forward mids, accurate bass, and detail.
My source is either a desktop, laptop, or 2nd gen iPod Nano.
The dac/amp will be used to power a pair of Audio Technica AT-ES7's, Sunrise SW x-cape IEMs, and a pair of BX5A's (not purchased yet, will buy a pair used for ~$100).
 
OR should I forget about spending so much on a dac/amp, buy a cheap pair of bookshelf speakers, and save up for better purchases later on.

I am personally having a problem choosing between the mx1 and e1+e9 so bumps, but your headphones are 32ohms so not much benefit from amp. if you do want a dac though e11 is definitely enough. As far as your speakers go i see a 1:5 ratio pricing between headphones and speakers so for your speaker to trump your headphone you usually have to pay 250.
 
Good Luck!
 
PS: just because i said amp is not too benefitial to your headphones doesnt mean an dac isnt.
