From cheaper to more expensive (particularly in the $100 range, but please feel free to give more expensive alternatives), I'd like an amp that would pair well with a bassy in-ear monitor that could use a little more brightness in the treble. A bit more to the mids would work, too, if it comes with the brightened treble.
 
I imagine the ICON mobile would fit the bill, could people please confirm and give other options?
 
Thanks!
 
You can pm if need be.

Or, an amp with a good EQ, I suppose. Any suggestions?

You can always get yourself a decent cmoy and try out a few opamp. I'll say OPA2227 is a good place to start.

cmoy are always good, if you can find some older ibasso stuff with roll opamp kits those are another option.

OPA2227 will do well for a treble/mid sound? Okay, that sounds good.

how is the battery life with a rechargeable 9 volt?

I will expect 10hrs+ battery life if not more.

You've almost got me buying this:

The sound is compariable or better than the icon mobile? I've already got an ibasso T3, so I'd like something with a better synergy with what I imagine FS Ear Monitors will sound like. 
 
Thanks, btw.

Since you already has T3, I think you shouldn't need another amp. If Ear Monitor is close to what an Atrio will sound like, T3 will have fairly good synergy with it IMO.
