Got to go against the big Kahuna on this one. The e12 with the MD just doesn't do it for me across the board. At best it was "okay." 

@MattTCG your favorite amps weigh like 100 lbs... (Just funnin')

Well thus far that makes 2 of us.

e12 cost $130 ish.  The Pioneer sx650 will just trounce it for half the money. Just don't get me started.

Why sir, the whole long forgotten point of this entire site is just that, to get people started.
 
30ish bucks will get you a wicked tripath based amp if you recable the phones to use it

 

[mrspeakers]

For the $ folks, not absolute.

Thanks for the suggestions folks, but I said X3 because I would use that for a portable DAP. I already have a big vintage receiver at home to drive the dogs at home. It'd be kinda difficult to take a Asgard 2 with me to school

I picked up a Pico Power but not sure I'm keeping it... Do any of you electrical/DIYguys know how many watts per channel the pico power does into the Mad Dog? Does anyone else have and like the combo?
 
I'm toying with getting (or keeping!) either a more spendy portable amp for the 3.2 at home and the Alpha Dog at the office or getting a cheaper amp for either place. I was suprisingly impressed with the O2 for the Mad Dog but the potential capacity for better is always out there... 
 
If you had to split $400 between home and office, what would you choose? One spendy portable? Or something like an O2 for home (where I listen less) and an Asgard for the office? Etc...

At this point, I expect people are wondering why a Curad box is the "Recent Image In This Thread"

 
So, is the idea to put it in between the drivers, to keep the pads separated ?

For those who are subscribed to the Alpha Dog thread as well, a Curad box seems comparatively normal.

But but but, does the pioneer come with rubber bands to attach your DAP??

 

[jasonb]

Nope, that would take a pretty big rubber band.... and a big 12 volt battery and a power inverter.

And a wheelbarrow.  Hey MattTCG - I think we've got your portable rig sorted out!

 

[aamefford]

I can confirm now that the CEntrance HIFI-M8 is a nice pairing with the MD's.  The HIFI-M8 must dump most of a watt into the things.  They respond very well.  As a quick aside to those that have the HD650 - the HIFI-M8 is pretty magical with the HD650.

Don't make me sick the dog on you boys.

This reminds me of when TusChan made a portable Stax rig...
