Which one would you recommend, I'm on the move a lot so I'd like to have a very good portable amp to get some synergy going between them.
I've read that the Pico's dac part is better than the Predator's dac, and the amp part vice versa... More punch etc.
Now, I'm only interested in the amp part, so yeah amp only.
I like the Pico's looks, then again will it fit the rs2s in sound? I'd rather not get the Predator, since I find it too expensive and I don't need the dac.
I'm an all-round listener, and I'd appreciate a warm sound...

Thanks guys.

I think the Pico is better with the RS-2 than it is with the RS-1, as the RS-2 is already a fuller sounding more intimate and rich sound than the RS-1. I liked it with my RS-2 before I sold them to "thin the herd". I like the predator and 2 MOVE just a little bit better than the Pico, but the Pico wont disappoint you (the size and re-chargeability are a plus over the 2MOVE).

if price is not an issue, and if you want only an amp (without DAC) no doubt that SR-71a is the "one"

that will make your RS-2 shine, it provides enough current even for demanding headphones

Have you heard RS2 yourself? how about SR-71a? the combination of both?

Right, then I will probably try to get my hands on a second hand one

Otherwise I will just have to buy it new, only $330 right?
I'm very interested in the 'black bird', though waiting for pics and more info etc...

There's a pretty long wait for the Pico
