Wow maybe I shoudve got the PAV2V2 instead of the Fiio E5 for my first amp. But I am pretty pleased with what the fiio does.

I have a Z-Audio Mu, and i like it.
It sounds like most amps in the $100-200 price range. Most differences are preference. My amp has 2 chips and the Epsilon has one, and i dont think he makes it anymore. He may make the Mu. It was $99 when i last looked.
You really have to listen between all the amps in my profile to hear a difference with portable gear. The only one that really sounds noticeably different is the Xtra Pro-1, because it has alot of highs, but its great with the PX100s.

For $99, go for it. Its a solidly-built simple amp. (If he still makes them).

If not, then maybe get a Meier Amp. His cheapest portable is good. http://www.meier-audio.homepage.t-online.de/

Alot of people like the Pa2v2 also. It just doesnt have a nice small pretty metal case, but it goes well with Grados.
