Hi everyone,
I am relatively new to head-fi and quality portable audio, so I appreciate your patience in what may seem like some "dumb" questions.
I am looking for a quality portable amp that I can use at work and when I travel for work by plane/train. I was looking to spend below $100 to start - and move up later on. I have been reading through the forum and noticed sometimes (depending on the source/amp/headphones) that an amp truly is not worth adding, while sometimes it can make a big difference.
The amp will be driving Audio Technica ESW9's and WS-50's...I listen to most music on the ESW9's and occasionally use the WS-50's if I am listening to more bass heavy music. My source for the most part will be my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx phone. I store some music on my phone and the rest I play off Google Music.
I was looking at the Fiio E6 and E11, but am open to any suggestions as well, especially if someone has used it with the ESW9's.
Thank you all for your help and advice
