Hi guys I'm new to this kinda thing and I could use some help. As a new comer I decided to start with the ath- m50's. I've been using them for awhile and before trying some new cans I wanted to test the waters of using amps. Now the two items I am looking at are the fiio 11 and digizoid 2.3. I know the digizoid isn't a true amp but I have heard that it should be more than enough for my m50's. I am interested to see what you guy's think would be best for my situation. Any feedback would be well appreciated.

From what I've read, C&C BH is supposed to be a good match for the M50. Please note, this is NOT from personal experience. There's a thread on the BH, which you might want to read up on.

there have been a few user reports also that amping the M50 doesn't make all that much of a difference, something to search for. Should be a few posts like that in the BH thread if i recall correctly, though i may be mistaken.

Really?

I may have missed that. From all that I've read, they do tend to gain. "Bass gets tighter" and "opens up the cans" are a couple of descriptions I remember reading with regard to amping the M50.

Thanks ill check those threads out. I haven't heard of C&C before but what I've read sounds promising.

I had not heard of it either until H2O started his "C&C gospel" thread.

If you can, update this thread with your impressions once you get it.

I've been using the alo rx mk2 with them and they did improve the bass and they feel more "open" i guess you can say.  Might have went overkill for m50's but bought it for later upgrades.  I have heard the c&c works good for the m50's (not personal experience just through a thread) and as may point out the use of a fiio  e11 or e17 do just fine (again through posts, no personal experience)
