Hi Head-Fiers.

I just bought a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm and I'm currently running them off an Asus Xonar DGX sound card, ASIO drivers + Dolby Headphone in Foobar2000. They sound pretty good, but I'm thinking about upgrading the DAC/Amp.

I'm currently considering getting the HiFimeDIY Sabre U2 with the HiFimeDIY USB Isolator as the DAC.

I still need an amp. I've read a bit about BSG amps, JDS Labs amps etc, but I'm in the UK so my options are limited in that regard. The only decent looking portable amps I can find on Amazon UK are FiiO, and I don't know which to go for. Can anyone recommend a decent (portable) amp that can be bought in the UK?

I also use a Clip+ with a couple of IEMs (RHA MA350, JVC HA-FX40) as my portable rig, so a small portable amp to use with the HiFimeDIY DAC at home and the Clip+ when away from home would be ideal. I might use CALs with the Clip+ if I get a decent portable amp.

Many thanks.
