What are people's opinions on using the iBasso T4 with the SRH840s (and a Sansa Fuze to complete the picture)?
I'm loving the smoothness, detail, and mids of the SRH840 unamped, but finding bass impact lacking (even with the wonders of the Rockbox EQ system -- I can increase the bass presence, but impact-wise its still too polite). From what I've read, this is where an amp comes into play. I'm interested in something inexpensive (the further below $200 the better) and small, with a dedicated battery, that still makes a marked improvement when it comes to bass impact (and in no way diminishes the rest of the sound quality).
Would the T4 serve me well there, or is it too underpowered to make much of a difference? Would the D2+ or upcoming T3 be better candidates? For that matter, will any portable amp change the character of the SRH840's bass in the way I want?
