MTPC users: What amp are you using with your MTPC?

[tjumper78]

just curious about what the other members are using to drive their MTPC.
i am using pico with my IEMs right now.  while the MTPC sound very good straight out of DAPs, they sound even more amazing when given some current by a good amp, and i really want to try a different amp before i finish the review on MTPC.
what amp are you using with your MTPC?
how does it improve/degrade/alter the sound of your MTPC?

Minibox-E+ w/ ADA4627-1BR
 
Improves their overall performance, especially with female vocals though male vocals still sound a little better. The Minibox's warmth is a good combination with them, i think. This is a very clean and smooth sounding amp, even more so with my favorite opamps mentioned above. The MTPC's pump out more win with this little thing.

 
Then it has a real nice bass boost to boot. If that interests you.

to me, the MTPC sound very warm with tons of bass.  i just cant imagine adding more warmth and bass to MTPC.

Really? Mine don't seem that warm.

Amps don't always add warmth to the sound. The can improve clarity and detail also.

I'm using the Headstage Arrow (from a 2009 iPod Classic).  I get a bit better bass control (I think).  The Coppers really seem to like being amped.  I need to spend more time listening.

I always use XM5 with bass boost

---NO of course not.
 
I'm looking forward to using Pico Slim but I usually use SR-71A. TBH I've never done testing to determine how much amping helps compared to i7,i9 etc. I amp everything so there you go...

I use a Meier Audio 3Move.  Awesome with my Ipod Classic 160.

Unamped right now, but looking at building a mini^3 over the summer for it.
